So far my Genius Hour has been much more challenging than I expected. Since I'm using one website I expected my research to be relatively easy, however I quickly found out that was not the case. Each person has their own story that was not listed on my website. You have to look up these stories to get a grasp on who these people really were.
Also, you have to know geography. For instance, I found out I'm part French. I found it strange since most of my ancestors have been English, Irish, Scottish, and German. Upon closer inspection I found a city name which then ended up being on the French-German border (explaining quite a bit).
The website itself is also a little troubling. Some of the information they give you about the people is completely incorrect. For example, one of my ancestors supposedly married a woman in America before America was even discovered. I have to sift through all the incorrect information just to find one or two correct occurrences.
That seems very tough... it must pay off, though considering who you're related to! You're **royalty!**
