I remember the exact homework assignment that sparked a genuine love for genealogy research in my life..."Family History Week".
I was given one week to interview as many family members needed to discover my heritage and write the results in a 10 page book report for a grade. Well, I gathered my portable cassette recorder with its handheld microphone, paper, pencil and hit the family trail. I soon discovered that with each family member there was a story that took me years into the past. I heard many amusing stories and details of people and places I had never heard of. This process was the catalyst into a life long hobby of genealogical research...and I see no end in sight.
