Hello Emilie and Daniel:
Yes, I will plan better my time. Genealogy is amazing but it should not be an addiction, well at least not at my age. I can make an space in the day for family’s research but after I’ve done my duties. I’ve invited some times my family members to participate with me but they don’t like it to much. I have always hoped to have a girlfriend that likes Genealogy like me, it would be kind of another world to do research together. I remember that I encouraged a past girlfriend to investigate about her arabic ancestry, since her greatgrandfather was from Lebanon I think, but at the end it wasn’t possible. Maybe some of you that are married, share this hobbie with your couple but personally most of the people I know find genealogy boring.
Daniel, is good to hear that you’re studying to be a lawyer. Next scholar year i’m entering to university. I think i’m studying Medicine or Dentist since my father is a doctor and my mother a dentist, and I also like it.
Thanks for your advices,
Enrique
It is good to know I am not the only young person on this board. As I do not post often, I do not really get to know the other members on here, aside from the few I see who post often.
I actually did study history, so this was already one of my interests. I find learning local history interesting when you know that some of your ancestors have been in the area for over a century.
Add me to the list of the young on NR. I’m shocked to find so many of us around here! I only started really researching my ancestors a few years ago, having known I always wanted to. The best tip for the young researcher is to talk to grandparents and grand-aunts/uncles or anyone they can and take notes, and more notes! I remember even writing down a name my informant wasn’t exactly sure how to pronounce fully because of lack of memory – but it ended up being a huge help in making a decision on which couple (two sets w/ same names) I should further research – I finally located certain 2nd great-grandparents on one branch I could never find before. It really is interesting to learn the history of the area your family is from… And to know, in my case, that ancestors have lived within 50 miles of where your own grandparents were born for at least 200 years. I have to aquire more skills to push into the earlier 1700s and onto the 1600s though. Time for genealogy is tricky with school/work, but it is a great hobby. Michael D. Castro
Hi Everyone,
Sorry if I am not constantly viewing the threads as much, I am doing lots of traveling. I like many in the group am one of those, “young genealogist.” I am currently 19 years old. I remember growing up I had always been around genealogy, history, politics etc. It has been a passion and continues to be. Seeing the formation of your lines extend beyone number and creating research reports and taking part in serious investigations. I remember growing up, my grandfather and my mother were always researching and slowly and surely they allowed me to participate as young as age 12. I quickly learned the tricks and shortcuts, if you will. It is nice to know that young people are interested in genealogy.

Armando,
Victoriana Ponce was from Clabellinas Asientos Aguascalientes so highly doubt this is her.
