Computers and the Internet have had an amazing impact on family history. In the days before the Internet, finding information was the most difficult step of connecting with ancestors. People interested in family had to look up where their predecessors lived and write to the nearest genealogical society, church, or government record library in order to request that microfilms or other records be sent. Now, FamilySearch contains billions of records that have been digitalized and indexed, making searching extremely fast. Finding new information can still be a challenge, but with the advent of the Internet, finding information that other people already have is almost instantaneous. With these wonderful tools in place, no one has any excuse not to do family history.
