Hi! I most likely do! What I find extremely fascinating is the ability to follow the family line all the way back to Adam and Eve! Funny to see that we are ALL related, isn't it? Funny, yet very fascinating!

As far as I know, there are only two people in my family that were named Agnes. I had an Aunt Agnes and one of her daughters (my cousin) is also an Agnes. I like genealogy and finding out where we came from.
