Younger Generation VS. Genealogy Work

Family history work is hard and very time consuming.  It is not the most glamorous thing to look through various census records trying to find your relatives.  Often, much knowledge is required in order to be efficient and know what records to research.  Genealogy work doesn't seem the best fit for a generation that likes instantaneous results.  One attempt to bridge the gap between genealogy work and the younger generation is found on FamilySearch.org.  FamilySearch is trying to engage a younger audience through photos and stories.  Some people call this effort, "Facebook for the dead."  The idea is you can upload photos and stories of your ancestors and make a stronger connection with them.  Only time will tell if photos and stories will be the key to bridging the gap between the younger crowd and genealogy work.
