>From the bulletin board at one of our LDS FHC Libraries, here in Richmond, VA: GENEALOGIST'S DISEASE _Warning_: Genealogy Pox; very contagious _Symptoms_: Continual complaint as to need for names, dates and places. Patient has a blank expression and sometimes deaf to spouse and children. Has no taste for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at libraries and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters. Swears at the mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents strange places such as cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate country areas. Makes secret night calls, hides phone bills and mumbles to self. Has strange faraway look in eyes. _Treatment_: Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal but gets progressively worse. Patients should attend workshops, subscribe to email gen-lists and genealogy magazines, and be given a quiet corner in the house, with a computer, where they can be alone. _Remarks_: The unusual nature of this disease is that the sicker the patients, the more they enjoy it. ~ ~ ~ ~ Rick Sorg Richmond, VA ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ researching - SORG, STROHL, WILSON, HARGER, GLASSER, VAN Y, VANY, VAN WY, VAN WEY, HAGUE, TILLOTSON, HAWK, HAAG, HAG, HARRIS, KENNEDY, HIGGINS, BATESOLE, ERNSBERGER, ERNSPERGER, GRANT
