In some parts of the world, it is becoming increasingly popular to try to find out about the history of your family. Why do people do this? Is this a negative or positive development?

People are indulging into this study for various reasons which I shall highlight in the following paragraphs. I believe that it is largely a positive development although there are some disadvantages also.
