SYMPTOMS: Continual complaint as to need for names, dates and places. Patient
has blank expression, is sometimes deaf to spouse and children. Has no taste
for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at libraries
and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters/email. Swears at mailman
when he does not leave mail.(I have stooped to swearing at my AOL mailbox)
Frequents strange places such as cemetaries, ruins and remote, desolate areas.

Makes secret phone calls at night. Hides phone bill from spouse and mumbles
to self. Has strange, faraway look in the eye.

NO KNOWN CURE !!

TREATMENT: Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal but gets progressively
worse. Patient should attend genealogy workshops, subscribe to genealogical
magazines (email lists) and be given a quiet corner in the house where he or
she can be alone.
