Hooked on Family History - 7 (and last!!!)

5/5/2020

You know you are addicted to Family History when

PLACES

your idea of a fun holiday includes a library, archive and a couple of cemeteries.
you stay in the cinema after the film is over to read the credits, just in case
you spend your holiday sitting in the hotel room reading the phone book.
you can't holiday in the Lake District because you don't have ancestors there.
you're on holiday and you see a sign on the motorway where you can do some research and insist on stopping.

RELATIVES

you're actually happy to find out that you have the same great grandfather on BOTH sides. The genetics may be bad, but it sure simplifies research.
you've exclaimed at least once, "Egad! I'm surely NOT related to those ________'s!" when you discover that the gene pool has gotten pretty shallow.
your spouse wishes he/she had been born in the 1800s - that way you'd know he/she was alive.
you think everyone is related to you.
you're happy when you find a murderer in the family because their records will be easy to find
you feel closer to your dead relatives than the live ones.
both you parents are born in the same village, and after you trace back 200 years, you have to type the same name 6 times to fill all the slots on your tree. And it is accurate! And it happens 6 more times!!!!
