[quote=Anonymous]My maternal aunt is a genealogy nut and traced several branches of our family tree. Apparently, some lines date back quite far and we are distantly related to a couple of presidents (Adams maybe?) as well as the earliest settlers. Aunt is a committed member of the DAR and has tried to get me to apply (no). I find her obsessions with pure ancestry odd, because it doesn't come with any oral history passed down through the generations, which would have been far more interesting to me. Also, we are not wealthy or powerful whatsoever, so it's almost like she wants to find pride in our ancestors' successes rather than our own. Regardless, to the PP who asked how to research this: our family tree was pretty well documented by my southern relatives, but my aunt used Ancestry.com and worked with a professional genealogist (not sure of the term, but it was a professional who provided these services) to fill in the gaps.
