Subject: [COULOMBE-L] The Addicted Genealogist

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ADDICTED GENEALOGIST

...when you brake for libraries.

...if you get locked in a library overnight and you never even notice.

...when you hyperventilate at the sight of an old cemetery.

...if you'd rather browse in a cemetery than a shopping mall.

...when you think every home should have a microfilm reader.

...if you'd rather read census schedules than a good book.

...when you know every town clerk in your state by name.

...if town clerks lock the doors when they see you coming.

...when you're more interested in what happened in 1697 than 1997.

...if you store your clothes under the bed and your closet is
   carefully stacked with notebooks and journals.

...when Stewart, Taylor, and Rose are household names, but you can't
   remember what you call your dog.

...if you can pinpoint Harrietsham, Hawkhurst, and Kent on a map of
   England, but can't locate Topeka, Kansas.
