How Do You Feel About Family History?

“Fam’ly history—I am doing it, My fam’ly history.
I learn stories of my progenitors; I write their history.”

How do you feel about family history?

Family history is something I have been thinking a lot about lately. As a child, I used to go with my mom to the family history library, visit family grave sites, and, honestly, I hated it. I grumbled with every visit.

That has changed in the last ten or so years where now I get excited at doing this work. The thing is I know lots of people who still do not enjoy the process of family history.

I am coming to you and asking … what are your feelings related to family history work?

Do you love it? Hate it?

If you love it, why do you feel that way?

If you hate it, why do you feel that way?

What parts do you enjoy? What parts feel hard?

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
