My mother was the genealogist in our family… she's gone now. Someone else always picks up the trail where others have left off. Now it's my turn to try to find our family roots. 

Shaking Family Tree (Black) Tote BagShaking Family Tree (Black) Tote Bag

I can usually be found hauling around a big tote bag that you just know I am a "Genealogist" on my shoulder. But now no one has to guess!

When I'm at the cemetery or the local Family History Center I wear a T-shirt. Not just any old T-shirt either… What a great give idea! Genealogy T-shirt for those you know that love the hunt.

I'm not a huge fan of plain t-shirt shaped shirts. The neck is too high and the sleeves are too short. But, the styles of T-shirts are now built for women's bodies and not just manly shapes.

Although a tote bag is useful… and off course one is always slung over my shoulder, a cute t-shirt to wear usually gets me more comments.

As anyone who is a genealogist knows… we love to share family stories. Wearing a shirt that screams "I am a genealogist" and love it… will find like minded souls on every corner. Their is a genealogist in everyones family. 

Genealogy Obsession Women's V-Neck Dark T-Shirt

Genealogy is not a hobby. It's an obsession.

Genealogy T-Shirt


This t-shirt is black… which is good for genealogists because everything we touch is usually covered in dust. I like the little v-neck, not revealing at all. The sleeves are a bit short for me, but I think it looks great. 

It really does express the genealogy passion.

I love to find special gifts for my friends that show I pay attention to their hobbies or fanaticisms. You just know that a great gift ideas Genealogy T-shirt are.
