(I'm full of them.)&nbsp; It seems to me that people would be interested in the health records of their ancestors to find out what diseases they may be predisposed to.&nbsp; I got a copy of an ancestor's death certificate, for my Virgo sister, so she could get the cause of death.&nbsp; Maybe that sound yucky to most people. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/does-anyone-do-genealogy#post-10357 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:30:32 +0000 Jilly 10357@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>I've researched my family as much as I can without having to travel &amp; I enjoyed it.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have an ALA-accredited Master's so I have a good research background but there wasn't any genealogy training. I like researching &amp; I was wondering about genealogy as a possible profession.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
