This brings up a good point. Document everything you find & give a copy to another family member. Usually one family member gets obsessed with tracing the family roots & he/she drives everybody else in the family nuts. My brother was ours. I always had a glancing interest but he did the digging. Interviews with everybody. Trips to the gov't archives in Ottawa. Trips to the local Mormon church. He & a distant relative (a retired prof who was as obsessed) shared research. A ten year obsession. I ended up with the data.
