Hang in there. They may come around yet. I've been working a little here and a little there for ten years. Started out "solo", but now more family members in all four directions( husband-maternal, husband-paternal, my maternal, my paternal) are interested. Not enough interest by them to do research, but enough to share photos, fill in gaps, answer questions, etc. My nine year old even did his Civil War project for SS on a Confederate General we're distantly related to. I nearly fell off my chair the other day when my husband suggested doing a photo journal of what I'd learned on his side for Christmas presents this year. Says he'll help. ( I've heard that one before, like at income tax time. I'll help means "You do it, I'll watch.") I lost my mother (and family expert) last November. Since going through her old photos, I've renewed my interest once again. Oh, the questions I never thought to ask! My suggestion: start with the oldest living family member, especially female. They tend to be more "family history friendly." Happy Hunting! Karen Pekar in WV
