eing bored out of my mind i decided to see how many people were in my family. in 2003 i started with a program in the computer of names, birthdays, and towns that family memeber lived in. i started with the people i knew: my grandparents, aunts, uncles, couslns. (i had help most of the cousins) on the other hand i didn't know that another person in the family was also doing a family tree. (uncle jim). he had started with his own father and sibbling. he went back to the past. when i found out, i asked for a copy of papers he was working on. i merged the two together and i am now in the seventh generation of brysons. i think he is looking down on me and helping me every step of the way.
