For the next few days you can bid on Walt Disney's last passport on eBay.
This United States passport is dated August 19, 1965, and was issued to the legendary animator shortly after the giant success of Mary Poppins (1964) and 16 months before his death (December 15, 1966). Disney signed the passport twice in blue ink (as "Walter E. Disney"), including once along the edge of his smiling photo. It bears only one set of visa stamps, for a trip to and from London.

My Family Tree: Researcher Goes Out on a Limb
How to prune a family tree or pull it up by the roots
These days it seems everybody is researching their family tree; I’d just as soon prune mine. I guess I'm not exactly Miss Congeniality of Genealogy and here's why. On my mom’s side you’ve got the depressed, impractical, overweight, addicted, shopaholics, and lousy drivers. On my dad’s side you’ve got the religious fanatics, perverts, gamblers, homophobic homosexuals, and schizophrenics. Not that they drive any better.

This thing I'm writing will be finished one day and could be yours. It will include a family tree diagram with all the names or characteristics filled in as much as I can which will make a nice accompaniment to the autobiography I'm writing.

I See Dead People Genealogy T-Shirt XL
This t-shirt is for the genealogy nut. On the front is a graveyard and the words "I see dead people" ON BACK is a tree with the words 'genealogist' written across in large letters.
I have more of these shirts, so let me know if you need more than one. I think I have about eight of them left.
