It's detective work with exciting finds and interesting stories all mixed up together. I got bit by the genealogy bug about 17 years ago. So welcome to the club! I just started genealogy blogging last week. Here's the link to my blog if you'd like to check it out.<br /><br />http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2255349661756077278.post-51317505317910986862012-04-08T15:14:51.281-06:002012-04-08T15:14:51.281-06:00My daughter is following my footsteps in terms of ...My daughter is following my footsteps in terms of vocation/profession, but now I am trying to get her interested in my avocation - genealogy.

And I wouldn't discount the testosterone factor ... I know many great male genealogists! ;) I think the biggest thing for me was embracing that I had (and have) a lot of the same interests that as my mom and while I learn tons from her, it's about taking it and making it work for me.
