Pardon my French, but this is BS! Too many people are being misled to believe they can trace their lines back to Adam by sitting in front of their PC. Genealogy requires just the "lingering" and "trips" this summary implies aren't necessary. Like most other endeavors, genealogy requires time, effort, ability, and at least a modest budget. Sure, you may luck out and find that some other genealogist has already done the required legwork, but that's not the usual situation.
