    Don't settle for the one you can live with.
    Wait for the one you can't live without.

    This seems pretty good. I've done family research on my side and my husband's side, but I've hit a few roadblocks, especially on my side. I did want to do the research myself but my life has kinda changed and I can't freely travel and research. So, this would be worth it to me.
