It's all relative : adventures up and down the world's family tree
Jacobs, A. J., 1968-2018
Books, Manuscripts
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". So began a three-year adventure to build the biggest family tree in history. Jacobs's journey would take him to all seven continents. He drank beer with a US president and coffee with Harry Potter, found himself singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and unearthed genetic links to Hollywood actresses and real-life scoundrels. After all, we can choose our friends, but not our family.
