I found it interesting that they kept hyping the segment by saying "You can do all your family history research online...from your home...see how easy it is..." etc. Yet, I had said in the interview SEVERAL times that it is NOT possible to do all of your research online. I said that you can't find everything you need on the Internet. The Internet is merely a new tool to add to your already existing set of research tools: your society, your local library, the local FHC, etc. I said it is now the most powerful tool, but it doesn't exclude the rest. Despite the fact that I said that in many different ways, they still hyped the show the way they wanted to and they didn't use those portions of my interview. The power of the press, I guess. Cyndi
