Just in case you ever wondered about Genealogy!!!! Comments from previous viewers! ************************************************************ Since September I have spent no less than two hours a day (many times 4-5) doing genealogical research. This is a great hobby for people who really want to try their hand at constant confusion, weird dreams and a general feeling that you are constantly looking for someone...even when you are not seated at your keyboard! Enjoy the following forward! Deb *********************************************************** Got this from another list--enjoy! (Can't let Greg read them--he'd have them printed up for real! His fave threat right now is getting me a bumper sticker that reads "Genealogist Aboard--Sudden stops at cemeteries are likely!")
