- 7. • One ofthe most common mistakes made by beginners in the hobby of family history is to spell genealogy incorrectly. Nothing shouts out "I don't know what I'm doing!" louder than the misspelling this pivotal word in our hobby. • Typically, most failed attempts at spelling genealogy put the letter "O" where the letter "A" belongs. Like this: • geneology • Because this mis-spelling is such an endemic problem, Mark Howells devised a little memory aid to assist in remembering the correct spelling of the word. The first letters of each word in this very true sentence combine to form the correct spelling of genealogy. • Genealogists Examine Needed Evidence At Lots Of Grave Yards
- 8. What’s in aname? • There are on-line services that track what key words have been searched on the Internet. This is real data, showing what real people have been searching. • For example, over a two month period, 10,722 searches were done for the key word "genealogy" (by a group of popular search engines--this data is from WordTracker). • Not surprising because genealogy is so popular. • The common misspelled key word "genology" had 302 searches done over that same two month period. • The common misspelled key word "geneaology" had 711 searches done.
- 9. What’s in aname? • Here's the amazing part. The MOST commonly misspelled word, "geneology" was searched for 5988 times! That is over half of the times that the correct spelled word genealogy was. • So when you do a google search, including the word genealogy, such as “Fox+genealogy”, how many results are you missing?
