Great questions!

I think my analytic skills have sharpened by doing genealogy. I've been blessed with a good innate sense of "pattern recognition" (this piece fits, this does not) but I could not have said "why do I think that" without having looked at many, many pieces. So now I can say "this person may not have married that person because ...". Conversely, "someone from this family married someone from that family because ...". Gives me a place to look for the proof!
