My brother was very thorough. He has names, maiden names, birth dates and even siblings, ages of most relatives going at least thru my great great grandparents. He was the only one of us who to learn Italian fluently. He always enjoyed speaking to my grandparents/and Italian old-timers so he could perfect the language. My Great-Grandmother lived to be 94 and I'm sure was a wealth of information for him, at least on my dad's side of the family.

One correction tho. I said he "typed" out his notes. They were neatly handwritten and in a binder. That's my project. I'm gonna type it all out when I get in the mood. smile I wanna be able to preserve them for my kids/grandkids.
