So I'm reading The Wars of the Roses by Alison Weir, because it's sort of the step before the Tudor time period I'm familiar with. When I got into the second chapter, which breaks down the descendants of Richard III, I realized I was going to get really freaking confused. So I thought I'd sketch out a family tree. Of course, I forgot how everybody's related to everybody and descended from everybody else, so that didn't work so well.

I thought about just finding a tree on the Internet, but I know I'd remember it better if I made it myself. So what did I do? Umm ... I downloaded a family tree maker program. Yeah. Big geek, right here.
