I'm an OLOGY person myself but that's what happens when you're born and bred in 'ull and I don't live that far away now.
I get glazed looks off people when I start talking about family history never mind giving it a posh name

I'm a pedant at heart so my vote went to 'alogy'.
I can see I'm in the minority!

It's a bit like scon or scone isn't it and I am afraid I can't seem to pin myself down. Allthough I polled "alogy" I am just as likely to say "ology", but always "Jean".
