Jamestown 400

Oh, it was toasty, but the folks at Ancestry.com had a lot of fun this past weekend helping all sorts of people get a jump-start on their roots. We had 4 computers and were going at it almost non-stop. It's a real kick to see people's reactions the first time they learn their great-grandparents' names or see granddad's signature on his WWI draft registration!

I did a few interviews while I was there, including this one with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Of course, I was intrigued by the fact that the journalist was a woman named Douglas. I figured it was a family name, but she said that wasn't the case. I didn't want to be nosy, so the mystery remains!
