  1. I have been found out. Lol

  2. hmnn and this is not normal?

  3. I answered “yes” to all of the questions. Isn’t that normal?

  4. I answered “yes” to all of the questions. I am a geneaholic!

  5. Oh my! I am a geneaholic! There is no treatment or a 12 Step Program. There are support groups though…librarians, historical societies, fellow researchers. Go for it!.

  6. You send letters to ancestry.com correcting their data.

    1. They won’t change data regardless of how many sources you quote. I’ve sent questions to ph.d. history authors who were more open.

  7. Guilty! I caught the bug a long time ago!
