One of the genealogy-themed blogs that I read on a regular basis is Creative Gene<\/a> written by Jasia .\u00a0 After reading her blog for a while, I realized that we are a lot alike and am now convinced that we must have been separated at birth .\u00a0 Here are the top ten reasons why:<\/p>\n

10 .\u00a0 We are both of Polish descent and we are almost the same age .\u00a0 I won’t be so unkind as\u00c2\u00a0to tell you how old we are \ud83d\ude09 ,though.<\/p>\n

9 .\u00a0 We both enjoy writing .\u00a0 Jasia completed a historical novel about her family history through Na No Wri Mo<\/a> last November .\u00a0 I’m planning to write a historical novel about my family, and have been thinking about trying Na No Wri Mo this November, but I’m hoping somebody will stop me before I do something I may regret!<\/p>\n

8 .\u00a0 We both spend a day taking pictures and find that we’ve taken way too many photos of gravestones.<\/p>\n

7 .\u00a0 Jasia’s first SLR camera was a Canon ME Super .\u00a0 Mine was a Canon ME .\u00a0 I was on a budget .\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Jasia received a Canon Digital Rebel XT for Christmas .\u00a0 I want a Canon Digital Rebel XT for Christmas.<\/p>\n

6 .\u00a0 Jasia enjoys reading mystery novels by Janet Evanovich<\/a>, who has just released her 12th novel in the Stephanie Plum series .\u00a0 I enjoy reading mystery novels by Sister Carol Anne O’Marie<\/a>, who has just released her 11th novel in the Sister Mary Helen series .\u00a0 Both Janet Evanovich and Sister Carol Anne O’Marie are published by St. Martin’s Press.<\/p>\n

5 .\u00a0 Jasia has 17 first cousins on her father’s side of the family and she is one of the youngest .\u00a0 I have 18 living first cousins on my father’s side and I am one of the youngest.<\/p>\n

4 .\u00a0 Jasia’s paternal grandfather died 5 years before she was born .\u00a0 My paternal grandfather died 2 years before I was born.<\/p>\n

3 .\u00a0 Jasia lives about 60 miles from Hell (Michigan) .\u00a0 I have friends who live about 90 miles from Purgatory (Maine) .\u00a0 I live about 190 miles from Heavenly (California).<\/p>\n

2 .\u00a0 We both have blonde hair (OK, my hair has been getting darker the older I get) .\u00a0 Jasia has blue eyes (at least I think she has blue eyes from her picture) .\u00a0 I would have blue eyes if it weren’t for that pesky dominant gene for brown eyes I inherited from my maternal grandmother.<\/p>\n

1 .\u00a0 Jasia and I have both never met each other.<\/p>\n

Take a moment and visit Jasia’s blog<\/a> .\u00a0 On July 3, she’s hosting a Carnival of Genealogy on her blog.<\/p>\n

…And I stole the idea for a top ten list<\/a> from the Genealogue<\/a>, who I suspect\u00c2\u00a0may have stolen the idea from someone else<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
