Giftedness
"Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered—either by themselves or by others."

Ms. Rosner's curiosity about her family's past has turned her into a part-time genealogist. Each new page
of information adds a piece to the family puzzle, and has given her not only a great deal of personal satisfaction, but
also a family history to pass down to her children. Following are a few links that might help you connect to your ancestors:

to be a great asset in my research.
