Started researching family members 40 years ago. Fortunately my mother was still alive and fortunately I listened to her and fortunately she was a packrat of the family papers. 1,000 pages later it has developed our children have decided they don't want children. Now what to do with the 5 leather volumes? I compile genealogies for friends' families to help my brain that wants to creep away from me; I think the research helps slow that creeping.
