'The big feet come from your side of the family.'

"My great-great-grandfather was forced to flee Europe because of religious persecution."

"Hi everyone, thanks for channeling in to help me with my ancestry project."

'Scientists at the Human Genome Project have located a gene that makes us want to constantly look for our name on search engines.'

"Good news, Mr. Vanderfirth. We've traced your lineage back to a woman who lived in East Africa two hundred thousand years ago."

'It's a coat of arms, not a logo.'

'Grandpa, tell us again about you and Great-Grandpa William.'

"Just your resume. We're not interested in the DNA testing."

"Don't bother wasting your money on DNA testing. The results all come back, 'Ape.'"
