My Great Uncle-in-Law was gathering information for the family tree awhile back and my mother helped as much as she could. He told us, "No one cares about the family tree and won't help you.. but they'll want to see it after." This comes from relatives who don't want to take the time to tell him information about their families.
My mother came to the rescue and talked to her many siblings and relatives to try to get information from them and it was passed back to my great uncle-in-law.
Daresay, what frustrates me now? Family photos. I have one relative who said she had a wedding photo of Zenas Wood and Blanch Chase on their wedding day and naturally I want a copy of it. She said she'd make a copy and send it to me. This occurred a few months ago when I first gained an interest. I also asked an aunt-in-law to make copies from her husband's photo album that contains really old photos. She said she would gather the photos and send what she can. The photos/copies still have not arrived and I just can't bring myself to annoy anyone into doing it.
I have already printed out information and sent them to several relatives.
