Wheeler Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Genealogy is one of the world’s most popular hobbies. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe are actively engaged in some form of family research. It seems as if everyone, in some part of their lives, wonders where they came from. Maybe it's the red hair that your mom says has been passed down from your Irish great-grandfather. Or perhaps a curiosity as to why Grandma never spoke about her family. Some people have become intrigued after visiting a battlefield and wondering if one of their ancestors fought or even died there. For others its the box of old photos or clothing which has been left to them by a relative. What starts as a simple curiosity, however, quickly grows into a obsession. Forget shopping or gambling - climbing your family tree is much more addictive! Link to comment
