Geneassistant

I don’t know about you but I have a Geneassistant.

This lot often falls to the partner of a family historian. In my case it is Mr GeniAus who  often travels with me on my Geneajaunts. His Geneassistant duties include:

• Emotional support and encouragement
• Travel companion

• Carrying heavy bags and boxes
• Photographing sites and cemeteries
• Copying certificates and pages from books in archives and libraries
• Chauffering in foreign lands
• Interpreting maps
• Knocking on doors when I am too shy
• Trawling through reels of microfilm in search of a surname
• Helping set me set up for conference presentations
• Photographing me in action at conferences
• Proofreading my blog posts and finding errors on my website (not always appreciated)
• Phoning archives and other places that may have records for his ancestors
• Making suggestions and asking questions (not always appreciated)

Where would I be without my Geneassistant?
