So far 23 people have voted here and only one of them is a genealogist! If I were a statistician I suppose I would be able to make something of that other than the fact that most of us are family historians!
I will leave this open a while longer to see if the numbers change!

I asked a statistician how his wife was. He replied "Compared to whose"?
I asked a genealogist how her husband was. She replied "Alright I suppose".

I only recently started going along the branches and it has paid off big time. Found others researching same famiies but different lines who were able to fill in some of my blanks. Now I know "branching out" is a must if one really wants to find info.

I am a family or should I say
our
family historian...and enjoying thoroughly the fact that there are others out there with this obsession(says she with her eyes watering)..I chat excitedly to my partner only to see the blank "oh yes" expression on his face, as he tries to take in all my wafflings...thank you for companion family historians and their tireless unselfish help on this great site.
