Sometimes my background in finance and my interest in genealogy merge in
unexpected ways. This morning I was watching CNBC report on improving jobs
numbers while I was thinking about how my own professional genealogical
activity has picked up lately. I wondered if there was a correlation
between genealogical activity and the economy in general? So, what are
others experiencing? Is genealogy business picking up? Maybe APG could
start a survey -- The Genealogy Economic Indicator? I suggest that mostly
in jest, with a tinge of seriousness.
