3) Your family takes the long way places to AVOID cemeteries when you are in the car.
4) You have seriously thought about HIDING in a library to get locked in after it closes.
5) You spent more searching for your ancestors 1810 tax records than you did preparing your own 2010 taxes.
6) You know more about your spouse’s ancestors than you know about your spouse.
