[@DanPeay]

Great work 10 Million Names and American Ancestors! This is an incredible project that will help us discover who we are and more deeply understand the sacrifices made by our ancestors. I look forward to seeing you at RootsTech 2024 in SLC!

I USE FAMILY SEARCH AND HERITAGE MOSTLY, BUT I HAVE SOME IN ANCESTRY, WIKI, AND GENI.

I FOUND SOME OF MY RELATIVES WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO COME OVER, AND GOT CAUGHT UP WITH WHOEVER WAS THE BOAT OWNER. THEY PAID THEIR WAY, THEN WENT THROUGH AUSTRALIA AND THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD TO PAY MORE NOW TO GO TO AMERICA. THEY CHANGED IT, SO SOME HAD TO WORK FOR THE ONE WHO OWNED THE BOAT WHEN THEY HIT LAND, SOME FOR 3 YEARS OR MORE AND WERE SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES.

I AM RELATED TO MOST OF THE PRESIDENTS. I HAVE SOME OF MY AMERICAN INDIAN IN BOTH SIDES. I TRACED IT BACK TO POCAHONTAS AND THE CHIEF HER FATHER WERE IN MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS.

[@joywatkins4760]

IT IS GOOD IF THEY GET INTO IT EARLY, BECAUSE MY YOUNGER KIDS ARE IN THEIR 30'S AND THEY REALLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE NOW TIMES, NOT BACK THEN.

[@joywatkins4760]

I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 19 THOUSAND.

[@joywatkins4760]

UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WHAT THEY THINK IS A CHORE END UP THROWING THINGS AWAY.

[@joywatkins4760]

THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH FAMILY SEARCH IS SOME PEOPLE GO IN THERE AND CHANGE MY FAMILY.

[@joywatkins4760]

I DID MY DNA IN CRI AND IN HERITAGE.

[@joywatkins4760]

I WISH YOU WOULD STOP PEOPLE FROM CHANGING PEOPLE'S INFO ON FAMILY SEARCH BECAUSE IT CHANGES EVERYONE ELSE'S TREES.
