POLL: How to pronounce Genealogy?

[peterpiper]

I've gone for "ology" as I believe the A to be silent, like the P in swimming baths

The end of the word I always say ology

The beginning of the word, now that is a totally different matter with me. I tend to pronounce it  both ways for some odd reason. What ever comes out of my mouth on the day

Jean E- ology
Jean -ology
Jen  - ology

The more I think about, the more I don't know which way I pronounce the beginning of the word the most often. I'm  talking to myself here , saying it both ways. I'm going to be locked up talking to myself like this.

Jen  - ology wins with me I think, or do I say Jean more often lol

Im an Ozzie and I say Jean-E-Alogy though I know many Ozzies who beg to differ and would argue black and blue that it is actually pronounced Jean-E-Ology reguardless of how it is spelt.....Have never heard the Jen pronouciation here....So basically bottom line...I would have to say each to his own!!

Before I started doing my family history I pronounced it gene-ology, but now I say gene-alogy. Probably because I've see the word so often in the course of my research & realised it is spelled -alogy. I'm a bit pedantic when it comes to spelling & grammar   but at the end of the day its really only a word made up by some boffin somewhere.

I pronounce it 'alogy' because that is how it is spelled - but then I say 'spelled' instead of 'spelt'!

I say Gene-e-alogy or at least I did when I first started thinking about it, now I'm not so sure but then I'm from the Midlands & hubby's a southerner! I'm surrounded by southerners so sometimes I find myself chopping & changing unknowingly. (A females's prerogative of course!) 

People still ask me where I cum from and I keep telling my hubby there's no R in bath or path! Will ask hubby when he gets home from work what he says - bet it ology!

    The swanking, boasting answer:  I don't say it, I just do it !!   

Seriously though, folks ......

I don't really know. 
I rarely say it out loud, because when I am talking about it, I usually say

              Familienforschung or Ahnenforschung.

How's that for a cop-out !
