Little Bit 1

If you are on LinkedIn there is a genealogy discussion group (Genealogical & Historical Research) that has had an interesting discussion going about what got you started in genealogy and what you get out of it.  It started with the question: how has genealogy changed you?   So far, one of my favorite answers is the “I can bore my family to death by talking about my research but I’m the one they all call whenever they have a question.”  (I put this in quotes because it is a fairly close representation, but it isn’t exactly what the person said and I don’t have it in front of me.)
