Church History

This semester I am taking a class covering Family History. As I have started to delve into this never-ending project, I have been interested to see an internet phenomenon that I am starting to notice more and more throughout the entire internet. The internet is making us lazy. Just because you look up look up some names and you copy & paste them in to PAF doesn't mean you have done any work. In the few databases that I have looked at there has been a lot of duplication. Even these duplicated records have done a poor job of replication. Still, I guess it is a small price to pay for the power and ease-of-use that the internet affords us.
