Luckily, I don't have to choose! They were both thought-provoking and engaging. John, I am currently working on a family genealogy for my father for Christmas, and I can't tell you how I, too, wish his ancestors (and mine) had written down their stories two hundred years ago. And Anne, I love the way you describe your research. You're unbelievably thorough. And there's a great lesson for all of us in your story of hiring the person who gave you the 3-star review. Thank you for sharing that.
