Hooked on Family History - 5

​




You know you are hooked on Family History and:-




JUST CAN'T QUIT

• when you check into an hotel, you first pull out the phone book and look for family names... and then take it to the reception to get a photocopy for your files. 
• you try to use the remote control to down scroll the TV screen. 
• you've traced every one of your ancestral lines back to Adam and Eve, have it fully documented, and still don't want to quit.
• people start leaving the room as soon as you say "My great-great......." 
• the first place you look in a book is the INDEX. 
• you take a break long enough to go to the doctor, then you tell them you were born in 1843.
• you hide the phone bill from your spouse. 
• you continually complain that you have a need for names, dates and places. 
• you're up till 3 in the morning, reading message boards, that have nothing to do with your family. 
• your goal is to find 10 dead people a day! 
• you can't give up looking for a gggrandfather born in 1824 (who you know is dead) because you think he might be waiting for you to find him. 
• you can't wait to get the next thousand names compiled into the GEDCOM. 
• the doctor tells you that you have to go into ancestry detox / rehab or lose you eyesight, hearing and the use of your hands from too much reading, writing, driving and phone calls.
