My genealogy motivation: to preserve and share the family history items I have been fortunate enough to obtain, to preserve and share the unwritten stories to which I have access, and to discover and share the unknown stories of ancestors buried in old records.
I also like to share approaches, methods, and ideas that have helped me. Sometimes doing that is part of the rough-draft creation process as well
That’s enough and plenty to keep me going. What are your genealogy goals?

We are of similar persuasion. What you have written describes me. Part of the reason I have been the newsletter editor for our local genealogy branch for over 20 years. I delight in finding new information to share.
