I have many people in my family that are interested in our family genealogy. However, when you hand them a stack of papers full of charts and trees their eyes glaze over and they lose interest.

"Are you wearing a hat?" "Do you have blue eyes?" And they flip down the people who can't be the one they are trying to find. I changed the pictures from cartoons to family members.
