This is well known April's fool but the one I dropped is REAL and wasn't through Facebook or anything else. Just a phone call.

I haven't really used it, because I have plenty of relatives and ways to find them. But they sometimes send notices that so-and-so may be a relative. They sent me a note that said I'm related to President Obama. I didn't think so, but I looked, and it looked hokey. Anyway, I guess they sent that to just about everyone on Facebook. It was an April Fools joke. Some people were offended, some people thought it was a good trick.
