THE QUESTING HEIRS ARCHIVE
Long Beach Hobby Shows
QHGS had an “Introduction to Genealogy” booth at two shows–one in1975 and one in 1976–because we wanted to get the word out about our fascinating pursuit.
Forty years later, genealogy has become the second most popular hobby in the United States, thanks to television programs that promote interest in ancestors, and websites on the internet that provide access to thousands of records.
RESEARCH NOTE: How did you first become interested in your family history? Did your parents tell you stories about their childhoods? Were you trying to find out when your relatives came to the United States? Whatever the source of your interest may be, every researcher knows that when the genealogy bug bites, it bites hard!
