The primary purpose of both family history work and technology is to connect us with other people. This may be counterintuitive at first. After all, don’t genealogy and computers drive us into our own virtual reality apart from real people and real relationships? Not necessarily. For example, Marvin Zautcke and Lindsey* were able to expand their network of friends by being diligent genealogists. If we feel that family history work and technology separate us from other people, perhaps we just need to readjust our attitude towards them.
