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.
