Why and when did you start on family history? (General)

I started researching my family tree back in 2007 aged 56, after having a taster session on Family History at my local Library where I work part-time. My brother who lives in Canada had made a start but didn't have the time to spend on it so asked me if I would have a go, as living in the UK (Cornwall) it might be easier for me. We didn't make a start untill our parents had died which was a shame as there is so much information that we can't find, but like a lot of other people havs said, they didn't or wouldn't talk about there past. This site has been a great help to me as my family all come from the FOD mostly Bream, Yorkley,Pillowell and Blakeney.
