How are genealogists similar to astronauts?
1. We are tied/tethered to our ancestors and TO OUR COMPUTERS!
We are dependent on others for providing guidance, information, feedback, and keeping us grounded!
Genealogists are often, like the astronauts, explorers and trail blazers, treading where others fear to go.
Can you find a parallel between genealogists and anteaters? Let me
hear from you!
Historically, hats have represented one's occupation, one's hobby, or one's passion. I wear the Family History Hat because I am passionate about genealogy.

I was just relaying information to my Genealogy class today about records being discovered all the time and even that records which were damaged might be candidates for restoration through new technology!
