I was trying to find a collective noun for spinsters (I have eight elderly unmarried sisters at one point in my tree) when I came across The Collective Noun Page:
http://www.ojohaven.com/collectives/
If we can come up with a collective known for genealogists, we could submit one to that page.
Suggestions, please?
here's a few
A family of genealogists?
A root of genealogists?
A trunk of genealogists?
An obsession of genealogists?
-
A Brickwall of Genealogists!
An Ancestry of Genealogists!
An Archive of Genealogists!
or how about a RootsChat of Genealogists!
-
Anyone who searched for BMDs at St Catherines or earlier at Somerset House, when manually searching the index volumes was the only way, will know that there is only one answer.
A Scrum of genealogists

A few more suggestions:
cell
web
tree
clan
kith
tribe
genre
network
Since a lot of our hobby involves detective-type processes maybe we should consider:
a morse
a sherlock
this list could be endless .....

With the publication of the 1911, I'd have to say there was...
an Exaltation of Genealogist ;D
-
So far I think obsession is the most accurate :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
A search
A root
A census
A record
I also thought of brickwall Marky P has that one as well
-
A parish of genealogists?
Elin :)
-
A Frustration of Genealogists?
-
A frustration of genealogists ?
-
A lineage of Genealogists?
Stoney
-
a brotherhood
a community
a fellowship
But having had a Rootschat meet at my place 2 years in a row I think these are a bit mild for a gathering of genealogists :o :o :o ;D

Thats strange, cause I got notification for your reply ;) ;D
I was under the impression that we get notification for The Lighter Side, but no points added to posts, for Totally Of Topic, no notification and no points added to posts.
I have always had notifications for anything I have put in for the Lighter side.
