A while ago I took advantage of an offer on Ancestry, then cancelled it.

In line with other spammy mcspamfaces in lockdown they have started emailing me with suggestions for adding to my family tree. Well, to be honest, one suggestion, three times. My Dad.

Those family tree algorithms obviously really work!
It is simpler than it looks.

Wait till they discover you are a serial killer.

(OK, that was DNA databases, quite fascinating, and a bit scary.)
