Anyone know of any site which allows one to find out whether or not anyone from their genealogy made history?

Answer 1

What I have always just did was type there name into google. I do have on bank robber in my family, I have found out he got hung some where in the 1800's

Answer 2

If you mean did any of your ancestors make history, the answer is an unqualified YES! It is simply a matter of whom and when; how far back. With almost 7 billion persons on earth today, it is difficult to comprehend how few persons there were not that far back in history.

How long does it take for 8 people to become 25 million?

It seems like it would take a long time, but it could be done amazingly quickly. the primary limiting factor appears to be the amount of food available.

If a woman’s childbearing years are from age 16 to 40 and she has a child every two years, she can give birth to 12 children. If there is plenty of food and few diseases, then most of these children will grow up to have children themselves. On average, 6 of these 12 children will be girls and grow up to be mothers.

With each mother producing 6 more mothers a generation, 8 people can reproduce into 25 million in a few hundred years. As conditions man not have been ideal after the flood, it may have taken considerably longer.

When they say that everyone is related, they really mean that everyone is related! People married first cousins, second cousins, uncles, half-sisters...

Answer 3

There isn't one like you want - enter your name, get a 12-generation family tree with three stars on the generals, three six-guns on the cowboys, three notes on the famous musicians, three rats on the politicians . . .

Once you trace your family tree, if you run into someone who may have been famous, you can search for him/her in Google using the exact phrase, in double quotes. You'll need to search four times:

"Lincoln, Abraham"
"Lincoln, Abe"
"Abraham Lincoln"
"Abe Lincoln"

If your ancestor, Milton Q. Blatherskite, was the first white man born in Madison County, AND the Madison County historical society has a web page on their site devoted to him, AND you get the exact name just right
(Milton, Milton Q., Milton Quentin), you'll find him and his claim to fame.
