<div>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.</div>
