| The boat Great-Great Grandma Larson came on |
This was kind of a weird merit badge because it involved a lot of computer usage, not that I minded that. There were some interesting things, like the family tree on mom's side went back to the early 1600's late 1500's. It turns out that I am distantly related to Theodore Roosevelt and that one branch of my family came on William Penn's boat and were Quakers. We went to the local genealogy center at a Mormon Church and we found a book there that had meeting notes from the Quakers in Pennsylvania . There were the names of my mom's ancestors in that book. We used Rootsweb.com, familysearch.com and ancestory.com. On ancestory.com we found censuses, birth and death certificates, draft cards and lot of other stuff that was neat.
(*Genealogy is studying ones ancestors until it comes down to a specific person.)
