How to Spot a Genealogy Impostor

I am not sure why someone who is not a genealogist would want to pass himself/herself off as one, but here are some surefire signs to help spot any potential impostors:

A genealogy impostor:

Thinks a Flip-Pal is someone who helps a gymnast practice.

Thinks Tom Jones the Rock Star is a singer.

Thinks a “Keep Out” sign at a graveyard means what it says.

Thinks Fold3 is a brand of laundry detergent.

Thinks Samford might be a school in California.

Thinks pedigree collapse is caused by really big storms.

Thinks an online tree is, well, you know, a picture of a tree on the Internet.

Thinks a brickwall ancestor was a mason.

Thinks naturalization is what happens when you stop dying your hair.

Thinks that genealogical research has something to do with shaky leaves.
