The Chronic Consumer

A friend of mine is into genealogy and ancestry. She’s been working on an extended family history for several years now, and I think she’s got data on her ancestors going back more than 100 years, which is pretty impressive if you ask me! My friend takes her hobby very seriously and has numerous genealogy tools and products to help make her research easier, including cemetery transcription notepads, pedigree and descendency charts, and a lot more.

I once tried to do a family tree project for school and got as far as my great-grandparents, so I can’t imagine digging through birth and death records, keeping track of marriages and divorces, and even examining DNA evidence where applicable.

That sounds like way too much work, so I’d probably just buy some genealogy software and go as far as that would take me!
