Latest Craze

Due to the fact I just watched 4 back to back episode of this new show

I've now become even more fascinated in my Romanian roots. Ancestry.com actually lets you do a lot for free which I didn't expect but with all the product placement on NBCs new show, it was only a matter of time before I logged on.


After an hour or so of puzzle-piecing (which was actually VERY exciting), I'm a little stuck here.


Kind of cool piecing together the death records, marriage certificates, draft registrations, and more.

Any one got any ideas? I think I found a corelation between Minerva's dad & this website

Basic fears: 1) I will find out I'm not much of a gypsy at all. 2) I'm Hungarian (no offense)
