Beginning Family History Researcher

For what reason did you start genealogy research?

We were told as kids that my Great Grandfather's parents drowned in the Great Lakes on a ship when he was 10 or 11 (1871-72). We have no real knowledge or proof if that is what happened; we only know that his father was from Ireland and his mother from Scotland (1891 Census).
While looking for my Great-Great Grandparents I have also found my other Grandparents and now am also very curious about them.
Thank you so much for your site!
