Actually it is an uber-database. By hours of searching I meant hours of combing through the database trying to figure out if a record belonged to someone in my tree or someone else with a similar name, etc. The database is actually pretty damn cool and prompts you when it finds a similar record.
That said, I've still spent truly insane amounts of time getting to the point that I can brag about my really cool ancient ancestors. I think I have about 1500 people in my tree, and yes, each one had to be found and added from the database.
Actually I've kept it up today and managed to go even further back. Specifically back to the Saxon Kings of England, and through them, to just about every Germanic royal family in Europe. And through the Saxon kings of Saxony, according to tradition, I have a direct line to Woden.
Kinda freaked me out. I'll post more later when I finish untangling a few lines.
Well at least it sounds like you know this kinda thing from family. We don't have much in the way of family lore in my family, so I get to substitute by playing online.
And I really would rather you not sacrifice me. I'll put in a good word for you if you want through :)
