It seems to me...
...as if there are three alternative points in life when you start being interested in your family history.
A. When you are born (or rather: when you understand what a family is);
B. when you go through a personal crisis;
C. when you are 60+, things are slowing down and you realize that life - in its present form - is going to end.
Often, I think, it can be a combination of B and C. Myself I belong to cathegory A (maybe in combination with B, if one claims that my birth was a personal crisis).
