I think I'm a bit of a mixture of Hunter/Detective and Analyzer, could do with a little bit of Planner thrown in though!!

I am a Family History Reasearcher, not a Genealogist.

As I understand it, A Genealogist is simply looking into the origins of names and the hereditary Lineage. A genealogist is not going to need to know the details of how uncle Jim rescued a woman from drowning in a canal or how many Illegitimate children he had.

But quite often the "hows" and the "whys" lead you to the "whos" - and even if you're only interested in the direct line, it's sometimes the collateral lines that help lead you back along the direct line!

Well said Loopy Lou.I don't think i've come into contact with anyone on here who thinks of genealogy as "simply looking into the origins of names and the hereditary Lineage".
I think you'll find Andy that we all like to know the ins and outs of the people we are researching.

Yes the lines are now blurred, but I refuse to call myself a genealogist as I am a family history researcher!

The word Genealogist seems to be evolving into a word which is a generic word for all kinds of research and so on.
