Since I frequently enjoy listening to NPR, I was very surprised to discover today that
Alex Cohen had been talking on NPR about the highly praised
Family Forest® Project back in October.
The story discusses the celebrity family ties of President Bush, and refers to
Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, John Kerry, Brooke Shields, Clint Eastwood,
Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, and Walt Disney.
Maybe what surprised me the most was finding out that the chief family historian
at the genealogy goliath Ancestry.com, Megan Smolenya said she was surprised
to find out that someone had actually found some of these family ties. This shouldn’t
still be a secret in the genealogy community, as we have been posting many of these
and other fascinating ancestral history findings from the Family Forest® for a number
of years at our website and at our blog.
My crystal ball says that before the 2008 Presidential Election most researchers
and international journalists will discover how much fun and how helpful it is to look in
the Family Forest® New World Edition to see the visual illustrations behind
these types of political stories, as well as countless celebrity stories and
general history stories.
