Now Linda knows I have two blogs and she turned around and gave the award right back to me for this blog. Ha, sneaky I told ya!
7 Things About Me
- I am so into genealogy that I will look for stuff for anyone.
- I often solve brick wall in my research in the middle of the night when I roll over in bed.
- I had an uncle who did nothing but research every day in the archives in Ottawa and never shared a word of it with any of the family. (okay not really about me I know)
- I have to use a calculator to work out dates and ages because I can't do math in my head. Even simple ones.
- I proved we were Metis when I did my mother's side of the family. It was not something they were proud of in the past but my sisters and I are very proud.
- I have developed an interest in history since starting genealogy because now I can relate it to real people. I think this is something the schools could use to their advantage.
- I think people who do genealogy are always the most generous, kind people out there. They share such fabulous information and photos with complete strangers. I like to think I am the same.

I agree with you on #7 and almost included your #6 in my list as well. If history teachers incorporated a little genealogy in their classes, they might get even more kids interested in history.
