DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr. The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees.

I discovered that her body temperature must be at least 20 degrees lower than mine. She felt comfortable with air conditioner set between 75 to 80 degrees!
