Is there a collective noun for Genealogists? My wife came up with a number, most of which I could not repeat, as she doesn't see much of me now I have discovered this fun, fascinating and very frustrating pastime! The only one I can print is "a (con)census of Genealogists" Gerry

An "archive" of genealogists? I like confusion or consensus.

How about a pedigree of genealogists, or a divorcement of genealogists, or a negligence of genealogists? Di,

Di beat me to "Pedigree" so how about a "Family", "Register", "Index" or "Archive" of genealogists? David

One of the more repeatable and nicer things my DH calls my geno is "Ghostie Gathering"! When I troop off to a night time session with the FHC he tells anyone who might telephone for me that I am at a coven!! Hmph!
