GENEALOGY IS FUN- YOU CAN HELP WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF THE JFK ASSASSINATION
President John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963. Nearly 30 years after his death, Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. The Act mandated that all assassination-related material be housed in a single collection in the National Archives and Records Administration.
The resulting Collection consists of more than 5 million pages of assassination-related records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artifacts (approximately 2,000 cubic feet of records).
Most of the records from the JFK Assassination Records Collection are open for research, and...
FAMILY HISTORY- THE INTER-CONTINENTAL TRAIN FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK WILL FINALLY PUT FORT NELSON ON THE MAP!
Snowpiercer is a fictional train, its 1,001 cars carrying humanity’s last survivors as it endlessly loops a frozen Earth. Shown on this map, the InterContinental Railway (ICR for short) doesn’t quite go all the way around — but then again, it isn’t entirely as fictional.
The Snowpiercer movie and series were based on Le Transperceneige, a French graphic novel from 1982. On the other hand, the ICR is being proposed by engineers and entrepreneurs who believe it can and should become a reality.

LEGACY A NEW HANGOUT FOR GENEALOGISTS?

It's All Relative
Having researched thousands of families over the years, we at Dancestors have collated all this research & narrative material into a single database containing over 2.5 million words, and is over 4,000 pages!
Likely, we've already researched much of YOUR family in the process!
You see, back in 1630 there were only about 4,000 people in America so if you exclude folks that didn't have descendants, and use the average household size, that's only 40 or so families at the time. Are you related to one of those? Likely!
Of course, each decade the population grew tremendously.
In finding YOUR legacy, our...

All,
As successful people, one of your responsibilities is to not let your families pictures, stories, and historical documents be lost forever. You have the means to preserve those legacies forever in print and electronically.
Don’t leave your legacy as a burden to your heirs. That’s often the missing piece to your estate planning efforts. You come up with a great plan for a distribution of your tangible assets, but does nothing for your intangible assets, your character, your families legacy. When you think about your ancestors do you think about how they left money or such they left to so and...
