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

[Lydart]

Went to tea yesterday with a lovely 95 year old who was an army doc in WW2.   He spoke of his first wifes collection of army badges ... and my mind went 'click' ... and I thought of Scrimnet and the WW1/WW2 boards on here !

I meet someone with an unusual name and think 'That would be easy to research'

My wife wonders where an old school chum lives and (the name is unusual) I look up record in Births death and marriages see  area wher some children were  born, then look that name in BT directory enquiries and Bingo

The answer to even non genealogical queries becomes genealogical

when you check social network sites for people with same surname...and contact them 

and this time it leads to discovery of a 2nd cousin 

and the 2nd cousin leads to 3 more! My tree is growing with living ppl

When you have your tree done,,,(as far as records allow) and you just hang around to see what everyone else is up to....

And then, while hanging around you find another few generations for you own tree  - thanks to someone else's threads!!  Hooray!!       That's addiction!

I must be addicted as my idea of a great holiday would be a week's bed & breakfast in the Record Office. 
I also like reading history books and my friend says my hobby is "Digging up dead people."

[Floss]

I knew I was addicted when I went to see my doctor - who has a very unusual name - and while he was examining me I asked him if he'd ever thought of researching his family tree !!

Seems like you've lost it Or perhaps you're problem is that you were not the one who found it??   Well maybe you should have a party anyway to stop the boredom and ask the person or people who did the genealogy for you to come to it.
