I am currently 23 and started researching back when I was 20. I'm not sure why more young people aren't into genealogy but I know for me it was all due to circumstance. My father had a family friend who did some research for us so he could get into the SCV. He discovered some interesting things about my grandmother's past. I picked up where he left off mainly because I had the computer skills but also because I loved the thrill of the hunt and the search for new facts. There wasn't really much of an interest in the actual history. But after a while, I got caught up in it and loved finding new things about my ancestors. I've been doing it in my spare time ever since. I now know more about my family history than any of my grandparents ever did and I've met so many third, fourth, and fifth cousins along the way. What I like about it best is that studying all my ancestors and how they lived has given me a better perspective into my life and how I fit into the big picture.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509461338408865446noreply@blogger.com
