Forget terms like geneaholic and anorak. Think serious researcher, or enthusiast! nell ps people on this site often talk about cleaning or housework. Are they archaic occupations, I haven't found them on the census?!

I end up doing a juggling act between my family history and updating 3 websites and completely revamping a 4th. Housework? Whats that then

Money?? I didn't know you had to pay money for certs. In Australia you just fill out a form and put the numbers off your little plastic card on the form, and you get your cert. You don't have to put any money in the envelope.

I've been an anorak all my life, I just find different ways in which to demonstrate it.

Just who wants to spend their day washing cleaning and polishing? This is a hobby where you can delve into history and discover who you really are, what can be more inspiring than that?

I only spend ten minutes a day on this site and a further ten minutes doing my research. This is so that I can get on with my washing, cooking cleaning etc. I only buy two certs a year, so that I can use my money more sensibly to buy dish-cloths and shoe polish etc. I do not litter my desk with a thousand scraps of scribbled on paper. You see - this hobby has made a real liar out of me! TGx
