The nature of genealogy and family history has changed greatly in the last decade and our global hobby now faces unprecedented challenges. I very much hope that my long professional career and three decades of speaking around the world to promote the subject will be of great assistance in the assessing and planning future policies as genealogy moves steadily and decisively from a paper-based world to one of the internet and computer-based research facilities together with Facebook strategies. The interest in DNA in finding relations and living kin is ever growing and again reaches worldwide. I would suggest to everyone that in their searches they google everything they can think of and then that very high brick wall may be breached. My other suggestion is for greater exchange of ideas and knowledge, and that joining a Family History Society is an excellent way of becoming more involved, making new friends and enjoying the events and talks that are given.
