Geneology

I really enjoyed the geneology assisignment like everyone else has talked about. Although I had a hard time fitting my whole family 3 generations back family and failed. I know I have a large family, but I didnt realize just how big it is till you see it on paper. It was fun to see how long people had been married and how close I was to cousins I dont think about very often. It was very interesting to see how often I do see some of my cousins who live far away compared to the cousins who live in the same town. In a large family, you dont realize how much you do know about everyone and how fast gossip runs through so everyone knows about it. Over Christmas, one of my cousins started a rumor and wanted to see how long it would take to get back to her. This was right after we had lunch and sure enough, by the time we opened presents she had heard the rumor again. It had only been about 2 hours and run through all 85 of us in the family. Ofcourse we had even more fun letting everyone know we made up the rumor to stop it. I love my family and Im glad I got the opportunity to get a little more insight into how everyone works!
