I found this list while searching for links, and thought it was funny:
You know you're a Genealogist's Spouse when:
* You're the only person in the bridge/poker club who knows what a Soundex is.
* Some of your best friends live over 200 miles away.
* You have more pictures of tombstones than of the kids.
* "I need a little help at the courthouse" means to forget the cleaning, washing, dinner, chores; the day is shot.
* The mailman can't believe you get this much mail from someone you don't know.
* You explain to Mom why you can't go 25 miles for Sunday dinner, but can go 100 miles to check out another cemetery."
* "As soon as I check this census record, I'll fix the leaky faucet" means "call the plumber."
* You get home from a trip to an out-of-state courthouse with the kids needing scrubbing, car needing fixing, and clothes needing washing to find the housework, bills and lawnmower to greet you.
* Your neighbors think you're crazy, your friends wonder, and you know you are.
* Despite it all, even you are a little anxious for the next family reunion.
