I've researched my father back to 1850 and my mother back to the 1500s. There are many places to start your search, but I've found that putting a grandparents name in quotes on Google is sometimes the best way to find where someone else has already done the research for you and they are willing to share.

I have it on good authority that MY genealogy goes all the way back to 980000 BC. In fact, some reckon it actually goes back to 2498000 BC. A couple of people think it only goes back to 3700 BC. But they also believe in little invisible men. That’s nothing.

Now how about a genealogy report on the President himself. I'm sure that will be even more interesting. Gee, that’s great. Now how about a genealogy report on the President himself.
