Let’s Talk About: Google, Your Internet Swiss Army Knife

Even if you’ve never used a Swiss Army Knife, I’d bet that some in your family have one and use it regularly. That little pocket tool is just that useful.

That’s why some compare Google to your Internet Swiss Army Knife. Certainly there is not just one all-purpose tool (think kitchen gadgets and pans) but Google for genealogy comes close to fitting that definition.
