I just wanted to say "thank you" to the creators of geni.com. I have been researching my family history for many years. I have always wanted to share the information I have found, but never had a practical way to do it. I was also lucky enough to find two missing branches of our family; one in the South and one branch living on the East coast. I was the only person in California who has met all of these new cousins. Then I found geni – and now everyone is chatting, reconnecting, meeting, posting, uploading – getting connected with each other. We recently had our first family reunion picnic, where most folks had not seen each other in nearly thirty years. We are now planning for our HUGE family reunion next summer. THANK YOU, GENI.COM, for helping me reunite and connect my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
