Hello !*FIRST_NAME*!,

'GENEALOGY WORLD' - NEW ITEMS :
            Index on right hand side of page.

Not long now until the day of the FAMILY HISTORY FAIR (details below).

One fascinating item planned is THE GHOST IN YOUR GENES.
This is a digital video presentation which revolves around the question of whether experiences that your ancestors had, could be inherited by you, and could thus have an influence on how you perceive the world you live in. This is investigated from a genetic point of view.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? is another must at the FAIR.
The family trees of several celebrities are traced showing the diversity of experiences encountered by different families in the course of their histories.
