The State of Genealogy is Strong

Here is a link to a good article which summarizes the current "state" of genealogy.

One fact from this article written by LaRae Free Kerr that I found very interesting is quoted below:

"So who is doing the digging in? Interestingly, the demographics -- at least for the United States -- are reversed, according to this Ancestry.com study. It used to be that the older the family members, the more interested they were in genealogy. Now up to 83 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds are interested, with 34- to 54-year-olds at 77 percent and those over 55 at 73 percent. Certainly, one of the reasons for this reversal in interest levels is the excitement technology brings to research."

Flanders and Flemish Brabant

Here is a web site that describes itself as follows:

The idea for this Website came from the lack of information that genealogical methods yielded about the ancestors of the owner of this site. Some of them lived in or near the villages of Baal and Tremelo in rural Flemish Brabant. Others originated in or near the city of Gent (Ghent) in East Flanders. Because he knew little about the life style of these people beyond family stories, the actual conditions in those times and places were researched on the Web and through correspondence.

It's the Quality That Counts

Over time the data that I collected grew from a small tree that my father had scratched out for me on a piece of notepaper to a fairly large database of hopefully well documented names and events. As of the summer of 2006, my genealogy database consisted of 2,145 individuals. This number may seem rather low to some. I know of some "genealogists" out there who have databases that consist of 10,000 or more individuals. Yet I have found that these very large databases containing thousands and thousands of individuals normally tend to offer very little in terms of useful information as they generally contain almost no documentation (i.e. sources or notes) and tend to be little more than a very large catalog of names. Therefore, I have concentrated my efforts on the quality of the data and not the quantity.
