The backlash would be repositories getting overwhelmed with requests for info and becoming less than friendly/helpful... We can only hope this new trend is a beneficial one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579464233693582794.post-42701998173135478002011-05-02T11:53:38.588-07:002011-05-02T11:53:38.588-07:00Outside of the Church, The Hip Factor is gearing u...Outside of the Church, The Hip Factor is gearing up full steam. It is no surprise that movie stars, or other well known celebrities, are going top draw people to the show.<br /><br />I'd love to be flown to several foreign countries and have someone already have identified many of my family lines for me. My hearts delight would be spending time in Georgia and the Carolinas, to have my Cherokee ancestors handed to me; then I know I could provide a college education for my granddaughter and she would never go without health care.<br />I am also Sioux; so I have the richest and the poorest Native bloodlines.<br /><br />Bringing celebrities in to the Generations Project or Who Are You? and using them to raise interests in genealogy and incrasing tv raitings doesnt' surprise me.<br /><br />What does surprise me is the number of programs on BYUtv today that are simple reality shows; this is very disappointing to me. What was the purpose of Marakesh? I felt humiliated about the interactions these tri-athletes had with the Indian people in Marakesh.<br /><br />Why would I need to post this on any additional web-sites; this is the one I am reponding to. So I'll have to choose Anonymous. ~ Eternal Endurance ~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
