You know your addicted
to genealogy when...

• Your idea of a fun vacation includes a library, courthouse and a couple of cemeteries.
• Your dream vacation is to spend a week at the LDS Library, in Salt Lake City.
• You can answer all of the queries on the FHUK Forums.
• You receive 100 e-mails a day and 99 of them are from Roots-L mailing lists.
• You have your own set of keys to the local Family history center and the employees think you work there.
• There's not one person on your X-mas card list that you have actually met, although they all have the same last name.
• You know the mailman's schedule better than he does, and if he's late you drive around looking for him.
• You've read the entire Root-L archives twice.
• You introduce your children as your descendants.
• You begin referring to cemeteries as ancestor farms and headstones as concrete evidence.

very good and true, a while ago on the way up to Scotland. I wondered if I could find the time to stop off at Woodhorn Records centre for a few hours.

If I could afford it my vacation would be to go to wales to look in the archives around the area my great grandparents were born. So I would agree with you:2fun: joyce

We are all very much of the same frame of mind, aren't we?

Last August I was in England and for the first time decided to visit some cemeteries whilst I was there, to see if I could smash through some brick walls. I went to Calverley, Pudsey and Idle. I spent hours wandering around (and found nothing). Then I went to visit a living descendant of my Gt Gt Grandmother's in Deepcar (who I called out of the phone book) and had the most wonderful visit with her. I heard family gossip that you could only get "from the horses mouth".

I will fit this kind of activity into every visit home from now on - I had a wonderful time.
