The article title is : PEOPLE INTERESTED IN FAMILY TREES USE
                       COMPUTERS FOR A ROOT AWAKENING.
 
        "It's the best computer game there is," says Barbara Stephens,
        an experienced genealogist and a voluntter at the Princeton
        Family History Center.
 
Today, more and more genealogical information is posted on the Internet.
Researchers can visit libraries and historical societies online.  Online
guidance about genealogical research is plentiful.  Personal computers
come into play not only in developing information, but also in
organizing and presenting it.  So possession of a computer, and, better
yet, on Internet connection can put you in the genealogy business right
away.
 
The entire article is very interesting.  The opening picture has this
caption:
                "Carl and Barbara Stephens, center and right,
                missionaries from the Genealogical Society of
                Utah, work with Peggy Kamperschroer of West
                Windsor on a family tree at the Family History
                Center in Princeton."

And get this great idea for FAMILY REUNIONS:
        "At family reunions each year, Herb Spannuth of
        Skillman"..(NJ).."creates charts with his latest research.
        Printing then out and posting them at the gathering allows his
        relatives to look over his research and add information."
