As a genealogy hobbiest in general with a decent background in professional research, I have always been interested in the story behind people. I can't look at a name and a date without thinking about what was going on at the time, how this person may have been affected, and what could I do to find out more.
I enjoy nothing more than fleshing out the story of a person. If something doesn't seem right, I pursue it until I know more.
Doing family history has been difficult to keep up with in the last few years. I am getting back into it through Family Search Indexing. It is something to do that is easy, quick and gets my interest back up.
