Genealogy work gives people a sense of purpose and intrigue as they uncover the mysteries of their ancestors. It provides opportunity to socialize with family members and other genealogists.

Genealogy helps people learn about their ancestors to connect more deeply with their sense of self by learning where they came from, who they were, what they did, the trials they overcame, the accomplishments they made, and the dreams they had. It can also unlock doors to medical histories that can be useful to themselves and their living relatives.

Genealogy requires learning new skills working on computers, with software, doing research, logical and analytical thinking, and gives an opportunity to reminisce and explore their own pasts as they discover the history of their families.

Some genealogists become so skilled they decide to start a business helping other discover and accumulate their own family history stories.
