You Know You’re a Genealogy Geek When …
- You’ve been sitting at your computer diligently researching, notice that you’re hungry, and it slowly dawns on you that you haven’t eaten all day.
- You know that Ahnentahfel is not an Egyptian Pharoah.
- You don’t travel with just a briefcase or folder back and forth to various research settings, but instead you carry in BOXES of genealogy.
- As soon as you run out of records going back in time, you start collecting descendants of ancestors … just so you have people to research.
- You have put an old board across the handrails of your treadmill to put your laptop on so that you can keep researching ancestors while taking a walk.
- You literally solve genealogical connections in your sleep AND you make yourself wake up just to write down the solution.
And, finally, you know you’re a true genealogy geek when …
- You fantasize about getting on the TAPS “Ghost Hunters” show just so you can interview a dead ancestor using EVP techniques.
