I guess I am a little weary of the ancestry.com furor. I am not sentimental enough. But I would like my kids to be 'fruitful and multiply'. and choose paths I imagine for them. ha!

At this website, anyone can input their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and beyond. You choose names and fake documents about the generations to come. Other site members can add to your lineage but not change yours. It appears like the genealogy in Ancestry.com
