How Not To Make Friends At Your Genealogy Research Facility

1. Arrive 15 minutes before closing time. Be sure the first words out of your mouth are "I have no idea what I'm looking for".


2. Announce loudly that you require a wireless connection for your laptop so that you can check your email while "they" locate your information.


3. Demand that the staff stop what they are doing in order to make your project their #1 priority because your project is really important.


4. Set your designer coffee/bottled water on top of the oldest book you can find so that you can freely rummage through your bag.


5. If you are not charged for the services you require, be sure to laugh loudly and exclaim " I guess you get what you pay for". If you are charged service fees, object loudly and exclaim "How can you charge me for information about my own family?"


6. Make yourself look as untrustworthy and dangerous as possible. This is especially effective when done on the nights the facility is open late into the evening.
