Am 40 and I wish I had discovered this earlier; at your age. I am a Ugandan and my Kiroomu-Batiibwe Family Project target is 5000 people by the end of 2013. The biggest challenge is to involve as many relative as 500. Pray for me and give us more tips. Always be blessed. David, that is really inspiring.

Throughout college I continued to research when I had time and now that I am 24 and have been graduated from college for 2 years, I have spent the last 2 years digging more deeply and learning more about researching. I've found several towns of origin in Germany for a few of my branches, which I never discovered when starting back in high school. I've uncovered hundreds of photos, connected with a ton of relatives and been able to trace back my Stilp ancestors to the 1700s in Germany. I've gotten involved in my local genealogy scene as well, attending a free 8 week genealogy course offered by our local library and have attended a conference hosted by our local genealogical society, in which I helped some of the "older" researchers with figuring out how to navigate internet searches and websites, as well as sharing tips on researching in our local resources. I'm definitely hooked on genealogy and was fortunate enough to start young enough so I had my great-grandmother on one side of the family still living. She passed away two years ago but we had spent hours upon hours talking about the past and I showed her all the information and photos I had uncovered. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and I'm thankful that genealogy brought me closer to her. I also have all four of my grandparents living, and they have helped tremendously with answering questions about ancestors and encouraging me in my research.

Far too few do. If I had done that, when I was at that age, I would have known much more than I do today. My grandmothers mother - no trace, execpt a name. Same with my grandfathers mother. All this, I could have got, if I started earlier. We have to remember, that the names we search, were living poeple, like us, however - they struggled so we could get this good life today that we have. Encourage all young people to start.
