But what is the point of doing the research if not to synthesize the information into a format to share with others? Spending a lot of time on research solely out of idle curiosity would be pretty frivolous. I have a broader mission in mind. I want to preserve family lore and create a sense of kinship among present and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>To accomplish that, I use a couple of strategies. I maintain the family tree in the cloud for all to see. Each year I also choose an ancestor, and write his\/her life story. Right now, I distribute these character sketches to siblings and cousins.
