  Anyone ever messed around with this? I just started the trial today and still trying to figure out how it works. I guess I'm at a disadvantage because I don't have much documentation or knowledge of my distant family. So far I've traced back my 3rd great grandmother to 1820's Ireland.
  It's all pretty time-consuming and addicting.

  You have to go to a local library that has a genealogy expert. My grandmother is one and a girl I dated who was of Hungarian descent wanted to find some info on her family we went to my grandmas work. Within 15 minutes it was obvious why you need an expert because the ways she found info was ridiculous. Within one hour we figured out exactly how her grandpa arrived here and the ship manifest of the entire route.
  
  Without that help I highly doubt we find that information, and if we did it would have taken forever

  I did the free trial a couple years ago. I thought I was doing well, but then I handed over the reigns to my mom and she added like 50 people in 10 minutes, lol. My parents have been divorced since like 1987 and she still knows a shit ton about my dad's side of the family. Overall it was pretty fun.
