I've been working on my tree for a few years now and most of it is through info gotten from relatives I've questioned.
Recently I have started doing birth record searches through LDS family history centers. I've found a cpl of bith records from some ancestors and was very excited. When I mentioned it to my family most didnt seem to care. It seems once the get past their grand parents generation they dont really care.
Similarly I've found some long lost relatives online and contacted them also and exchange emails regularly but when I ask them specific questions they either ignore that email or give me vague "I'll get back to you" responses.
Whats really frustrating to me is that when we have some family gathering I usually will print out a fairly large family tree chart (typically 3ft x 12ft) and everyone loves it.
