You might be a genealogist if . . .

You may be addicted to genealogy if . . .


you'd rather go to a cemetery than a mall

you brake for libraries

you hyperventilate at the site of an old cemetery

you think every home should have a microfilm reader

you know every town clerk in your state by name

you get locked in the library overnight and never even notice

you are more interested in what happened in 1667 than 2009

you store your clothes under your bed because the closet is carefully stocked with notebooks and journals

you can pinpoint Harrietsham, Hawkhurst, and Kent on a map of England, but cannot locate Lincoln, Nebraska

you've traced some of your ancestors back to Adam and Eve, have it documented, and still do not want to quit.
