That depends on how effectively the Soviets trained you.

I expect the idea comes from Kevin Costner's "No Way Out" a long time ago, when there was still a Soviet Union.

I wish that Ancestry would take in the Gen files from other collection.

The wife and I sent ours in to the National Geographic program. We got data files that we can upload to other sites, but Ancestry is not one of them.

Well, since we are sorta, kinda shirt-tail rellies, I'll let you know if Ancestry turns up anything more on the Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, etc. line. I'm really curious about the Cherokee and other tribes thing.
