I did a paper on “2001: A Space Odyssey” based on a book I read about the making of the movie. I hadn’t seen the film or read the book at that time. Teacher was suspicious, but I got a good grade.

And now I realize I have some people in my tree whose birth records are in Latin…but I use what I know their parents named them: an Italian name. How are you handing the Gaelic names in your family tree?

The names of your ancestors infuse cultural heritage into your #familytree. Honor them by recording them the right way and sharing them with your relatives.
