Family historian or genealogist?
Jasia ponders the differences between personal historian and genealogist. I’m glad she did. I’ve been a sometime participant in the carnival of genealogy, but sometimes have felt shades of sham (note: I said sham, not shame!) because I’m not doing research into who begat whom and when. Partly it’s because others in my family have done so. I am far more interested in the stories, the histories. So I’m a Family Historian. There. Glad we got that settled.

Well, or the next time I do a carnival, I can do it on a Family History theme. 
I’m thinking it—the carnival—is pretty inclusive, all around.
