The Correct Spelling of the Word GENEALOGY
One of the most common mistakes made by beginners in the hobby of
family history is to spell genealogy incorrectly. Nothing shouts
out "I don't know what I'm doing!" louder than the
misspelling this pivotal word in our hobby.
Typically, most failed attempts at spelling genealogy put the
letter "O" where the letter "A" belongs. Like this:

Because this misspelling is such an endemic problem, I devised a
little memory aid to assist in remembering the correct spelling of the
word. The first letters of each word in this very true sentence combine
to form the correct spelling of genealogy. Remember the sentence and
you'll be able to spell the word correctly every time.
