<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have been asked to speak briefly with a
radio host on Monday morning and would like to provide a broader opinion than my
own on the following topic specifically at what point in going back do
these connections lose any real meaning for us or our clients:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#1f497d>"we want to know how anyone finds connections that old
[e.g. to nobility or to royalty -their example is Count Vlad]– we’re so often
hearing that some celebrity is related to another or something like that. We’d
want to talk about the field of genealogy and how these connections are found.
W</FONT><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">hen does family connection lose meaning in
your opinion? Just because they shared a relative 400 years ago, does that
matter to people you’ve worked with? In your experience can we all find someone
famous in our family tree if we look far enough back/ are we all related in some
way if you go far enough back?"</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Any brief thoughts on this topic?</SPAN></DIV>
