Powerful history
Ancestry is often the company genealogists love to hate.
Along with every other subscriber, The Legal Genealogist would note that — sigh — it’s expensive.
It’s often unresponsive to concerns.
It makes changes to things that don’t need to be changed and doesn’t fix things that do need to be changed.

Just watch it.2

Wow… I just watched it, Judy… Yeah, my eyes puddled up at the end. What a great story of family reunited. Thank you for suggesting it!
Your eyes and mine, my friend. Your eyes and mine.
Wow is right. I will watch this again.
It is soooo good. Love the way Nicka Smith handled things…
Extremely well done! Powerful narrative! Loved it!
Thanks to you, Judy, for sharing this amazing piece of family history! It encapsulates the reasons we all do the research. I will be attending the all Converse family reunion in Boston next Friday hoping to connect with my cousins there!
