Yes, Paul's work on the Scottish diaspora and travel has been instrumental in
my own work on genealogy-oriented tourism.

Last post of the day, folks, I promise!
Does anyone know Paul Basu? I used his "Highland Homecomings" and other
related articles about a decade ago to get me started with academic literature
on the topic. I haven't read anything by him lately but found this site
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/people/staff/basu
I'm wondering if he would like to made aware of this group?

That's a great question, Nina, and I was wondering about it too.
As for myself - I started researching my families 14 years ago and haven't
stopped since then. However, till now - and after many attempts of reflecting
upon my research - I don't have a clear answer to the "Why?" question. Some of
it is related to me being a very curious person; part of it is related to the
lost of my two grandparents whom I adored (I started researching almost
immediately after my grandmother had died); it is also probably related to some
lack of a sense of belonging.
I started with my own families, then added my wife's, then became more involved
in the national/international community and more professional. Now, as
genealogy-as-a-hobby is an integral part of my life (you can see most of my
activities here, http://genealogy.arnononthe.net/eng/), and as I'm about to
start my independent academic career, I thought, "Why not combining these two
passions?" :-)
And still, the motivation-question is unanswered...

Hi All,
As I continue my academic research into the motivations consumers have for
tracing their roots and potentially making a trip to specific locations
important to their family history, I have a question for the group:
Have all of us traced our own family history to some degree? What are our
motivations for doing so?
If you would like to have a bit of a conversation about this, I would enjoy
hearing your thoughts.
Thanks so much,
Nina
