Genealogy in the Golden Years

Of the 63% of Americans who go online, only 25% are over the age of 65, according to a 2004 survey of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. But when the subject is researching family history and genealogy, the elderly rank ahead of the other age categories -- 36 percent, compared to 21 percent for young adults and 15 percent for 30- to 49-year-olds.
