There is a fun genealogy bog called GeneaDictionary. It was created by Jill Ball (aka GeniAus) to document words that have been adopted by genealogists into our vocabulary.
At the end of December, a new word was added that caught my attention. Check out the blog post here: Geneapet.
Geneapet : The genealogists four-legged friend who keeps him or her company while spending time researching in the geneacave.
I personally have two geneapets. The labrador, Riley, can be identified by the loud snoring while I am working. The King Charles Cavalier, Coco, snuggles at my feet any time I sit down at the computer. Some of my best work is supervised by my loves!
G’day to Riley and Coco.
Thanks so much for highlighting the Geneadictionary. Every week genies send me suggestions for inclusion so I have about another years worth of posts up my sleeve.
It’s a rip-off of Tamura Jones Genea Jargon page.

Her original is funnier and more informative.
Be sure to check out the plagiaus entry 🙂
I have not heard about that page. I will have to check it out.
