Where I am Right Now, Pt. 4

Another day, another city. Well, not exactly. It's Thursday afternoon for me, and I'm in Malmø, Sweden. The last time I was here it was pouring rain. Today it's cloudy, cool, and mostly dry.

Genealogy. It's all Relative

Genealogy is a pursuit where you'll never know what you may turn up. Or the fascinating things that drop in your lap. Some people approach genealogy wanting to prove some old family legend. Some just are curious about how their family got to where it is. And others, well, some others want to see what they can get from someone. Once upon a time, not very long ago, a man came in to the Family History Library and wanted to trace the descendants of a European royal (any royal, pick one -- no kidding!) to see if he was a descendant.
