Do you imagine that you are distantly related to a movie star, president or some other noted person? Most people wonder about their ancestors or other relatives who they do not know. After all, you never know if you are a distant cousin of someone famous unless you bother to take a look at your family history.

Years ago, families would keep family trees in the family bible. They would write in the births, deaths and marriages of all of the members of the family. Very few families, if any, do this today. Most people have no idea who their great-grandparents are or anything about them. But that does not keep them from wondering.

If you are like me, you wonder about your relatives and ancestors and want to know more about them. After the book "Roots" came out, it got a lot of people into the mode of learning about their family history. Alex Haley's journey was truly remarkable because he wrote the book over a course of years when there was no internet to help him. But thanks to the internet and many government agencies going to computer technology.
