A Bloodline and Technology

My great-grandfather made a voice recording of himself telling stories about his life. He wasn't alone in doing it. He asked someone to help him with these recordings. I can't remember who he asked, but a woman's voice is on the recordings asking him questions about his life. He probably could have sat and recorded these by himself, but he didn't. He was not afraid to ask for help. Too many people make the excuse that they are afraid of using the computer because they don't know how, and too many people don't do genealogy because they don't know where to start. If that's really the case, and we're not all just being lazy, here is a solution: ask for help. There are plenty of people who know their way around genealogy work, and there are plenty of people who know their way around computers and other technology. They just need to get together and help each other. They should not be afraid of the other's area of expertise. If you push a wrong button on a computer, it is not going to bite you. If you get lost in genealogy, your dead relatives aren't going to come back to haunt you. Imagine the strides we could make if we all weren't so afraid or lazy to ask questions and then get to work.
