When asked my DOB for a membership form I said it was 17something. Other person replied I looked very well for a double centenarian.

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

you are googling, you see a website advertising Russian brides - and your first thought is: "I wonder if they have a marriage record for seaman John Smith who is on the 1881 census with wife Irena born in Russia"

Having an episode of Inspector Morse on TV in the background and he says lots of Quakers were called "Endeavour" "Patience" or "Hope" and you think "I had an ancestor called Patience Brown, maybe she was a Quaker".

You are engrossed in finding out the baptism of someone who died 300 years ago that you forget to cook the dinner for the family who are shouting"Where is my dinner?".

Why aren't they cooking their own dinner?

You are watching WDYTYA and you have the 1861 census ready before it is mentioned!

My saying is

Research the dead. Forget the living.

You type Mayhew instead of mayhem. Mayhew is a family name of mine.
