He's got an entire room full of our family's past and history. Anytime we visit I make sure to bring my kids into his study to teach them about our family. It's a priceless lesson everytime.

I'm in my early twenties, and just discovered my passion for genealogy. I've talked to both my grandmothers about their family histories (my grandfathers have passed), but they remember very little. They couldn't even tell me their granparents' names! I bet if you bring up the subject you'll find at least one interested listener. Judy Online:

In my case, the shoe's on the other foot ... I'm a grandmother, rather than an uncle, and sadly I have nothing approaching a million dollars. But I do have a treasure trove of family history waiting to be shared with my grandchildren. I hope they ask fairly soon, or I'll be forced to inflict it on them uninvited! That was a nice article; thank you for sharing it. Ah, it’s interesting to read these comments from those who failed to ask.

But by then it was too late. I have very little knowledge of our extended family, and nor does my brother. I wish we'd had the foresight to think about this years ago. Your article's terrific, and I hope it acts as a spur to others to get as much info about their families while they can.

It's really got me thinking especially about it being a change of attitude. I don't have a rich uncle or a million dollars but for me, researching my family tree has no price tag. It's priceless.
