You never want to forget your roots is basically what Gates was trying to say.

After seeing his

fathers reaction to the death of his father, he was more invested in the importance of family
history. I too find importance in the roots of ancestry. Figuring out who you really are and who
the people were that came before you. It shows what your true identity really is, and can answer
a lot of question you might have. You could get inspired as well from considering family history,
maybe a relative did something exceptional, and you could want to do the same. Therefore, I
loved doing the Genealogy Project. It almost gave me an excuse to put aside sometime to
research where I came from. I am a History junky, so there is no better thing to me than
researching my own family tree, and maybe stumbling upon things I may not have known
before.
