GENEALOGY AS A HOOBY

In the last 30 years, genealogy have been becoming one of America’s most popular hobbies. If
you type genealogy in a search engine, you can find about 90 million hits. If you type family
history, you will get about 50 million hits. The percentage of the U.S. population interested in
family history have been increasing steadily. This increase probably has to do with the ease of
searching on the Internet. The number of genealogy Websites have grown accordingly as people
ask themselves: Where does my family come from? How long has my family been in the U.S.?
Why did they come here? How did they come here? What kind of people were they?
Genealogy is a lifelong hobby for many. The average family historian have done genealogy for
14 years, according to a 2001 study. Most family historians are over 40. Cyndi Howells, from
Washington State, quit her job in 1992 and has been working on her family history ever since.
She has been creating a Web site called Cyndi’s List to help others with their search. Her Web
site has over 260,000 resources. Since its start in 1992, her Web site has millions of visitors.
Every day it gets about 15,000 visitors. Over the years, she has added many new links and
deleted old ones. Although the Internet have been making research easier for amateur
genealogists, it is only the beginning for serious family historians. Researchers still need to go to
courthouses and libraries to find public records, such as land deeds, 4 obituaries, 5 wedding
notices, and tax records. Another good source of information is the U.S. Census. Early census
records are not complete, but since the mid-1800s, the U.S. Census have been keeping detailed
records of family members, their ages, occupations, and places of birth. Are you interested in
knowing more about your ancestors and their stories, their country or countries, and how you fit
into the history of your family? Maybe genealogy is a good hobby for you.
