ALL of the documents impacting my tree are saved on       my computer as PDF files. My online tree has not been updated, since       September. While it has caught many DNA matches, I believe only one or       two actually extended my tree. the rest of the matches only confirmed       what I already knew from the documentation.              --       2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
