Can a family history be ever complete? My Dad's been doing his, got back to 1700's something, no pirates yet. :(

Yes, My son (aged 12 years) did it with collection of photographs and finding out little detail for 150 years and it was difficult to trace history before that.

I did my family history. I've always been interested in doing it. My great aunt had started it quite a few years ago, and then when I took it over my brother got me Family Tree Maker to keep it all organized so it's not confusing. I found out SO much stuff that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Through the searching process, I actually found cousins that I didn't know we had overseas. I had fun with it!

I tried to but my family is too big. It branched off so many times, we lost track of everyone. My father had 6 brothers and sisters and all their kids and my mom had like 5-6 brothers and sisters and all their kids, and now their kids, kids! too much. i can go all the way back to my great grandaparents who had 12 kids, and thats just on moms side.

My mother is a genealogist, Its amazing what you find out about your ancestors. Its amazing how many notes she has found written in to margins by a priest or persons doing the census that really has nothing to do with them. Its nice to see how people lived years ago too.
