pp. 336, “A.J. Jacobs has received some strange emails over the years, but this note was perhaps the strangest: “You don’t know me, but I’m your eighth cousin. And we have over 80,000 relatives of yours in our database.”
That’s enough family members to fill Madison Square Garden four times over. Who are these people, A.J. wondered, and how do I find them? So begins Jacobs’s three-year adventure to help build the biggest family tree in history
Jacobs’s journey takes him to all seven continents. He drinks beer with a US president, sings with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and unearths genetic links to Hollywood actresses and real-life scoundrels..
Entertainment Weekly admits they “love reading about the wacky lifestyle experiments of author A.J. Jacobs.” Now Jacobs upends, in ways both meaningful and hilarious, our understanding of genetics and genealogy, tradition and tribalism, identity and connection.”
