Article: Not Your Grandmother's Genealogy Hobby

I was featured in an article about genealogy at the Wall Street Journal! I have been too busy to link to it. The author, ALINA DIZIK, included information about the Longhunters in my family. It's an interesting article, please stop by and read it and tell me what you think. Did she leave out any resources you use daily?

I finished a project already in 2012! Growing green onions in a jar in the window. Chop the tops off and they grow again. Delicious on a sandwich. Not sure how to fertilize the water. Any tips for me?
