Elementary!

During the morning rush at our National Genealogical Society booth today, someone looked at the July 2010 Family Tree Magazine and said “Oh, I saw your guy!”

What guy? I’m pretty sure we didn’t bring a guy.

A little while later, Sherlock Holmes walked into the booth. It was Tim Firkowski, a professional family history detective (and creative marketer) dressed to promote his business, The Genealogy Assistant

In a purely coincidental turn of events, Tim looked exactly like our July cover! See:

That's funny, that headline on the cover reminds me of Nancy Drew, who celebrates her birthday/anniversary this month, turning 80 (she'd be 98 if she had been a real person). In some of her cases she's had to do her own genealogical detective work.

Honestly, I thought this was planned as Tim is well known for wearing this! When I saw this issue in my mailbox, I LOL-ed in the post office. Everyone was looking at me laughing. Genealogy is such fun!

Please put this in your next issue so everyone can see this.
