For what reason did you start genealogy research?

At first it was just the natural curiosity of wanting to know who my ancestors were, where they lived, what they did for a living, etc. As my research took off and my files began to grow the original reason soon evolved into wanting to leave something permanent and well documented to those who followed after me. However, looking back at the time I have spent researching (I started in 1985), I believe that the thing that drew me to genealogy was the research itself. I have found it to be enjoyable and rewarding and a delightful pastime.
