This was sent to me by a cousin and had to share it with the group. Thought we could all use a good laugh. Hope you enjoy and please do not follow this advise :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- I read this somewhere and decided it is what I should do . People are what it is all about so I don't worry about sources. If I find an ancestor with the last name of Smith, I just go ahead and link him to Captain John Smith and his wife Pocahontas. Last name of Carson? I have them descend from Kit Carson, the famous pioneer. If their last name is King, I figure I can go ahead and show descent from King Richard the Lionhearted, because he was a King that I like. After you do it awhile, it gets easier and easier to link you family to really interesting people. Sure you have to be a little more creative than those Fuddy-duddy, Goody-Goody, source quoting weirdos! Sometimes I have to invent individuals to connect things up right, but I figure they "could" have existed, right? This way my genealogy is really interesting, my family loves it and it saves me a lot of time.
