Genealogy: A Novel | 
Holy cow! Working on my husbands genealogy/family tree tonight and I figured out that he‘s related to the gentleman who helped start the library that I work at. My husbands 3rd great-grandma was the gentleman‘s aunt. I was like omg omg omg and my husband be like meh that‘s cool.🤦🏼♀️I‘m going total history nerd over here!
My #nonreadingpursuits other than TV: cross-stitch and genealogy. Pictured is some of my husband's family because he has ancestry from the British Isles and I know that language. We'll be doing our DNA at ancestry soon. I've done mine at 23andme as part of a study on depression and genetics and discovered my parents lied to me and I have a minuscule amount of British or Irish DNA and I am so thrilled.
My great-grandpa's wife was really into genealogy too, and got this huge book bound up with all the family research they did. I was always skeptical of the Middle Ages research (the book goes all the way to Charlemagne, haha); but I've been going through the book this morning, checking against records, and I found a huge error in 1790s Rhode Island. So sad, because that means everything before that (like 2/3 of the book) is wrong!! 🙁
