My current #genealogy client was born in 2001. I think my only ever client born in this century. The person is local, so I was expecting a lot of local ancestors. Nope. From Maine and Tennessee, then all going back to colonial times. Has been fun.
I have no marketing skills and jobs have come mainly through word of mouth. But people aren't always clamoring for their genealogy to be done. So there have been big dry times. Alas.
