No questions? How about a challenge?

So, since there are no more questions, I must assume that everyone knows everything they need to know about family history.  Thus, now we must start the family history.  I have three challenges for you.  One who have very little family history done, one for those who have a lot of family history done but still have some spots, and one for those who claim that their family history is all done.

1)  Put all the information that you know into a newfamilysearch file.  Then find someone who you don't know, and put their name into FamilySearch.   See what pops up.  See if you can move to the next generation with that info.

2)  Check if you know the siblings of an ancestor.  Get all the information about them that you can.  Oftentimes, we have a lot of info about direct ancestors, but very, very little about their siblings

3) Learn the occupation of your paternal great-great grandfather.
