One of the things I regret as I have got older is not spending time with my grandparents and other older family members learning about the family history.
If you still have your grandparents and some older relatives, take some time, sit down with them and have them tell you about the family history. Somehow record it if possible.
It seems that the grandparents have more of a knowledge of the history than the parents. Of course, the great grandparents would know ever further back but they are mostly not around.
So, if you are interested in your family history, ask the older ones and then listen. Who knows. Some day your grandchildren will be asking you about the family history and if you talk to your grandparents you can give them more than if you don't.
