I'm a native of Syracuse, NY and a former TV researcher. I was drafted by my sister-in-law to trace the family (the Bjorks, Sellwoods and Thorndills account for most of the surnames of interest on my dad's side, it's Quadrini on my mother's). Said sister-in-law told me, "You're doing this for your niece and your nephew." I took to it right away and now teach Genealogy in various locations, and write family history books for private clients.
