I know you are going to think I have a drinking problem. First whiskey, and now beer. However, if it helps, I do not like beer and yes, I have tried your favorite kind and I still don't like it. I do like this interesting infographic though.

We all know that the Mormon church is famous for genealogy and the indexing process to maintain such informative and detailed records. This new approach to indexing is interesting, to say the least.
