ooo how -- doesn't seem possible to have 'found all you want' 
I know I will run out of time, before I come to that decision.

still far too much to do and discover -

Good luck with your next venture, but as Jim says - we love Help on here :)

Good idea. I don't think I could ever say that I've found out all I want to know as new records and information are being released all the time.

Depending on what you were looking for in your research, but as others have said there is always something new out there. I've been dabbling for about 36 years on and off, and still find more.
But as I said, it depends on what reasons you had for starting out in family history.

Good luck with wherever life takes you!  :)

I thought I was at the point of finding out everything.  Ive traced most of my ancestors and followed their linage to living relatives I never thought existed.  But probably not far away from finding out everything that is available for long gone ancestors.

I don't think I'll ever finish it all in my lifetime though like most I am more interested in some lives than others.
