While shows like TLC's Who Do You Think You Are and PBS' Finding Your Roots have definitely contributed to the popularity of researching our ancestry, people have always been curious about their family heritage. It's human nature to want to know where we come from and who we come from. As it turns out, exploring genealogy makes an excellent hobby, especially for retirees. It's something that's accessible to anyone with an internet connection. It can be enjoyed from the comfort of home. And it offers many other social and emotional benefits. But just like with any other hobby, it can be very beneficial to get a little guidance when you're just embarking on your genealogical journey. This presentation is a great place to start.
