You know you're addicted to Genealogy when ....

You wake up with your head on the keyboard after 10 hrs of research

Annie

LOL Annie, I have actually done that, and typed in a few very random searches with my eyebrows 

[Rosinish]

 

I have done it............was totally exhausted but unwell at the time.

I was determined to scroll through the Ancestry records (the old version) when every thing you typed with a letter "e" came up for everywhere   

I had my computer on "standby" every day for about a week so I knew where I'd left off...............
nightmare (not when my head was on the keyboard) 

Annie

ADDED.............never found my man in that week but another time while searching someone completely different. I found him (clear as day too), a 2nd marriage (didn't even know about the 1st), parents names, her parents names & his death ............in Canada but to this day I haven't found him on a passenger list

Spending days researching a family even consider buying a certificate because it might confirm your ideas, then realize that you had researched the family because a member of  the family was staying at the same abode as your family on census night ,and as far as you know there is no connection.

Your doctor asks about your family background and you reply, “how many generations back?”
Many family albums are filled with photos of ancestors.
You explore unusual, non-related family names for fun, as well as your own family names.
You know more about your ancestors than your oldest relatives who knew them.
You thrive on finding an old family heirloom and learning about its history.
If you could have any tech gadget, it would be a time machine to go back and meet your ancestors.
You’ve called in sick because you woke up late after a research all-nighter .

Sorry

Haha annie I think you just won the prize.   

I agree, you have definitely won the prize.  Got to admire your sons ingenuity though.  Don't think my son would think to look here, but then he is not that interested in genealogy.
