It might be that we geneaholics can be called by other names - here are several (from here):
* Nomatophiliac - one with an abnormal affection for names
* Syngenesophiliac - one with an abnormal affection for relatives
* Taphephiliac - one with an abnormal affection for cemeteries (or for being buried alive)
* Mnemophiliac - one with an abnormal affection for memories
* Patroiophiliac - one with an abnormal affection for heredity
Somehow, "Syngenesophiliacs Anonymous" just doesn't light my fire...
