Found this while doing a trawl of the web

I would say I'm more of a Finder than anything else with a bit of an Analyzer thrown in there.
Can never understand the mindset of a "Junkyard Collector"

Easy.... The Hunter or Detective.... The thrill of the chase and occasionally
the quarry gets away!

I think most of us would agree with DS, me The Hunter or Detective too, love the research and those eureka moments, albeit sometimes far between and hard won.

Interesting. I'd say I'm a combination of many of those.
The description of 'Junkyard Collector', on the other hand, made me laugh out loud. Absolutely spot on.

Definitely the Hunter or Detective for me too.
I did laugh at the Junkyard Collector - I once had to contact someone on Ancestry who had attached a photo of my 3x great grandfather to someone completely different in their tree. Their reason? He looked like a nice man so she thought she'd like him in her tree!
