What are the different reasons that people find genealogy interesting? What are they getting out of it. And what are the different things that they are looking for.

Free Genealogy searches

Jennifer B asked:


I’ve been searching online and I can’t seem to find anything. I think I should have a right to know where my roots came from without having to pay a “low monthly price”. It’s ridiculous. Does anyone know where I can find out where my ancestors came from for free?

Working on a no money budget. Does any one know of any actually free sites that can help with genealogy?

wright_0048 asked:


My family is almost all gone – mom/dad/granddad/aunts/uncles, etc. There’s just brothers and sisters, and a bunch of cousins.

Well, one of my cousins collected a lot of documents from the past – obits, cemetery records, divorce papers, etc. I have three boxes full of family stuff. Sort of the self-appointed keeper of the genealogy.
I started digitalizing the photos which are into the hundreds and will put them on disk. But the other paper documents which are historical to my family – I don’t know what to do with them? Is there a historical society that keeps family records?I don’t trust to give these docs to my nieces & nephews, they could care less.
Thanks all.

LarryKO asked:


For instance, how would I find who my grandfather’s parents were from the data available? I see lots of names, but no children or parent information.
