Genealogy is a wonderful
hobby and can rapidly become an
obsession. It wasn't very long ago that family history
research involved labor intensive records search,
correspondence and manual organization of
research material. Today there is software to organize your
data, a vast number of internet resources at your
fingertips as well as online courses geared from the
beginner to the expert genealogist.
