You know you're addicted to Genealogy when ....

[coombs]

You type in recent dates on letters etc online, or write dates in and put 1816 instead of 2016, or chat about TV shows or music and the years they came out and put 1884 instead of 1984, and only realise that when you have submitted your post. Ie the Aussie soap Home and Away was first thought up in late 1984 and hit the air in Jan 1988 and on a forum about TV show pre televised histories I put 1894.

You have surnames of friends and relatives and try and study the origin of the surname, meaning, such as Seabrook and think the brook by the sea or Woodford, you think the wood by the ford.

Found this by accident while browsing for pictures for Kazza - How many of you can answer to yes to all the questions??? LOL

I Am Addicted To Genealogy!

When you are in a different city do you look through the phone book to find people that have the same surname as one of your ancestors?
Do you get excited when you drive by a Cemetery?
Do you talk about your deceased ancestors as though they were still a live?
Does your librarian or the person that works at the archives know your whole life story?
Do you check the obituaries everyday?
Does your spouse call the library to see when you are coming home?
Do you spend your vacation tracking down ancestors in county courthouses?
Do you keep pictures of tombstones or long deceased ancestors in your wallet?
Can you remember the date an ancestor died but you can't remember to feed the pets?
Instead of an emergency kit in your car you have a research kit.
Does your boss call the library or archives to see when you will be coming back from your lunch break?
If you said yes to one or more of these you are an addicted genealogist

I'm a yes, maybe because these ancestors are in the past-and cannot hurt you like the ones today.

Thanks Liz, my favorite as well. It's my great grandmother, never met her but I love her due to the many lovely stories from those who did.

I am not addicted to genealogy it is just part everyday life like eating, drinking and breathing.

You find out you are distantly related to many others doing the same hobby of genealogy and feel like you have won the lottery.
