Anybody who ever had parents can play. "It's merely trying to find out who the folks were that you came from way back when," explains one amateur genealogist. "It's a sort Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Jamestowne Society, the DAR, the National Society of Children of the American Revolution, the First Families of Virginia, the Descendants of Signers of the Declaration of Independence, or the Barons of Runnymeade (where the Magna Carta was signed). In England only two families, the Ardens and the Berkeleys, have found ancestors who lived before the Norman Conquest. Of men who fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, only 15 are known by name. But many qualify as descendants of the "Illegitimate Sons and Daughters of Kings and Queens of Britain." Illegitimacy may be a broken ancestor worship," sneers a detrac- of social-climbin- g tor. Why the in family surge of interest ancestors?

QUILT BAITS ' 4m 7-- 7 In these days we need to do everything possible to conserve the amount of energy we use, yet still live comfortably, such as having adequate heating and cooling in the home. There is one device the heat pump that accomplishes both these requirements, providing maximum heating comfort in the winter and cooling in the summer and at the same time saving energy. When heating a home the heat pump takes the heat from the outside air and pumps it into the house. For cooling the unit does just the it removes the reverse heat from the inside air and pumps it outside, just like any air conditioner. The same compressor, fans and refrigerant coils that provide cooling also provide heating. This means lower installed cost to you compared with using two one for separate systems cooling and one for heating. The air, whether warmed or cooled, is distributed by a central system and circulated through ductwork into every room. Electric heaters are usually added to provide supplemental heat in very cold weather and are automatically controlled. of porbig- slavery t THE Mormoi Church has a genealogy vault of microfilmed records tunneled deep into a granite mountain intended to sur- - , vive nuclear holocaust. Duplicate records in Salt Lake City are one of the world's great genealogy bonanzas, especially to Mor- mons trying to confirm an-- , cestors so they can then be baptized into the faith long after death and thus, according to the Mormons, assured entry into the kingdom of heaven. Some 100 researchers roam the United States and the world microfilming records for the Mormon genealogical collection. Cemeteries, old family bibles, deeds, wills, tax lists, and other public records are local sources combed by ancestor hunters. Genealogists lament the forests of family trees that have gone; up in smoke in courthouse f fires through the years. Theoretically, starting with four grandparents, a family tree could be traced I 20 generations or to about the year 1300, turning up some one million ancestors. Shaking skeletons from a family tree can result in surprising fallout: a great-grea- t uncle hanged as a horse thief, an 18th century "proven" and properly burned witch, or other notables. Depending on family aspirations, their discovery may be greeted with despair or delight. ' j OUTING U Ub. 2 Lb.

And because it delivers more units of heat for each unit of electricity, the heat pump helps conserve critical fuels. The idea behind the heat pump goes back to 1852 when Lord Kelvin, (a Scottish physicist and inventor best known for his work in the applied field of electricity) used a compressor as a "warming engine" and as a means of heating buildings to replace equipment for direct burning of fuels. Several working models were The sure thing. Yhis Sale Good Through March 31st 1; to do it yourself cestors.

As people get older they seem to : become fascinated with genealogy, says one researcher, "as though the grim reaper was prodding them to take measure of their ancestors' tombstones while there is still time." Those who have been at it for a while say genealogy can become an obsession, like reading detective stories or workinj crossword puzzles. Washington, D.C., is a Mecca in the Great American Ancestor Hunt, with four major sources of information. The Daughters of the American Revolution has been collecting records for many years to help trace families back to a colonial patriot, the qualification for DAR membership. The Library of Congress has 5,000 genealogy books and 21,000 family histories. The National Genealogical Society has some 15,000 histories and records from all the states plus many unpublished sources.
