After having my own Saturday night genealogy fun with the aforementioned spam, here is the real deal: Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings Saturday Night Genealogy Fun meme. Tonight's instructions:
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) Think about the question: "Why do I pursue genealogy and family history research?"
2) Tell us about it on your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a comment on Facebook
I do it for curiosity. I do it because I like a puzzle. I do it because I like detective work. I do it because I am a born research nerd. I do it because I'm a history buff. I do it because I wanted to know more about the father I hardly knew because he died just after I turned 7 years old. I do it because I wanted to know about the grandparents I never met. I do it because it is fun investigating family stories and finding the facts behind them -- if there are any!
That's why I do it. How about you?

Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
We share the same "I do its" Karen. I also do it because I simply like it. Never thought I would have any interest but once I started I couldn't stop!
ReplyDeleteI know! I've even gone academic with it!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should introduce myself with, "Hi. My name is Karen. I'm a geneaholic."
