40-years of research is a lot but when you get it all together (and for
most of us that never seems to happen), how will you compile it for
others to use so it doesn't cost a fortune to publish in volumes?  I
mean, I have seen people die and their families just throw it all into
the trash because the younger folk have no interest.  Something to think
about if you are the kind of person who thinks that there will never be
a stopping point and got to find that one elusive ancestor you have been
seeking for the past 30-years.  You just have to force yourself to make
one or it may be too late.

But genealogy isn't dead at my house: I spend hours on the computer
every day working on organizing and entering 40 years of research and
surfing the web. I just returned from a week's "research vacation" in
Virginia which included 2 county clerk's offices and the Library of
Virginia, and am planning another trip to Connecticut, so we are still
out there.
