Shaky Leaf Syndrome

Shaky Leaf

-Noun Phrase.

1. A sudden and inexplicable urge to merge family trees and sketchy data into your GEDCOM, usually brought on by green leaf icons that shiver in place. Often strikes the unwary wandering the wastes of Ancestry.comLand. Can be cured, but difficult to separate fact from fiction without headaches. To be avoided at all costs.
