Lying or not?

Question

Does susan b anthony (the women that changed women's voting rights) have a daugther or son and if she did what was his/her name. Because my friend said that her mom searched the web and found out she was related to susan b anthony and how do you search genealogy I tried differnt websites but it came up with no matches i even tried googling it but that didn't work either

Answer 1

http://www.susanbanthonyhouse.org/biography.shtml
says she never married.

BUT
Her parents were Daniel Anthony (born 1794) and Lucy Reed.

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
has 28 entries for Daniel and Lucy. They had 7 children all together. Susan could be your friend's cousin several times removed or a great-great-great aunt. That is still related.

If you are really interested and have a couple of weeks to spend - an hour or two a night - write and I'll send you some links. Lots of people search genealogy on the Internet.

A polite way to check would be to tell your friend "Wow! That's neat! Can I see?"

Answer 3

Sam, let me tell you something. Search your family tree and you will probably find you are related to someone famous. So it really isn't a big deal.
