I never really thought about it but you’re absolutely right. The same things that make athletes successful make genealogists successful. Probably the one big difference would be the spirit of competition. Athletes seem to live to compete and test their mettle. Genealogists, I think, come from a different place. With them I think you see more of a spirit of cooperation. They seem to live for making connections.

Thanks for a very thought provoking article. :-)
