A new motion picture about America’s most beloved female aviator, Amelia, will be premiering at theatres on October 23, 2009.
In advance of the release we have just posted a half-dozen related Ancestors-at-a-glance™ charts.
One is for Amelia Earhart herself, one is for her husband, George “GP” Putnam, and one is for the famous Hollywood actor who will be portraying him, Richard Gere.
In this role Richard will be portraying a cousin of California’s next Governor, Meg Whitman. Meg shares early New England Buckminster ancestors with “GP” Putnam.
Another Buckminster cousin of Meg and GP is Bucky Fuller and he was a real life friend of Amelia. A video can be seen here of her in his futuristic Dymaxion car.
And yet another Buckminster cousin is current US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
If all of the cousins of the cast and characters of Amelia go to see it, this motion picture will be the largest box office hit ever.
The edutaining Family Forest® Project is Networking Family History with Hollywood™ and connecting audiences through actual family ties better than any other digital resource, either online or offline, as the new Family Forest® National Treasure Edition proves.

The Family Forest has to rank as one of the most important contributions to humanity since the creation of the Internet.
My prediction: This new tool for family history research is going to make every genealogy service collecting a monthly fee for access for a business model obsolete. Why would anyone pay for doing the work yourself when a resource like the Family Forest is available so inexpensively?

Awesome blog!
I thought about starting my own blog too but I’m just too lazy so, I guess I‘ll just have to keep checking yours out.
