Genealogy - An Elevating Exercise

What started as an hobby sparked by a cousin of mine, I soon realised

1) How enthusiastic some people were to document their relatives

2) How shallow is some peoples' knowledge of their relations ...does not go beyond father / first cousin

3) How valuable is the contribution by the elderly which otherwise would be lost for posterity

It gave me immense pleasure, when relatives started appreciating the efforts when the tree as it grew was being shared with them
