What a great question to ask. I too was born after my fathers parents were deceased. I was given a scrap of paper with the names of my great grandparents and I researched them until I found them. I even found their children, sent for Civil War papers and found the names and dates for them. Even had a Civil War Headstone put on his grave. I found some other relatives but they don't seem to share. Hope I can live long enough to try and finish most of what I have. There are only three of us left now and not a one of the others are interested. Will, keep looking. Pat in Fl
