Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray
--Unknown--
It maketh me to lie down and examine
half-buried tombstones.
It leadth me into still courthouses;
It
restoreth my ancestral knowledge.
It leadeth me in paths of census records &
ship's passenger lists for my surname's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the shadows of
research libraries & microfilm readers,
I shall fear no discouragement.
For a strong urge is within me, the curiosity
& motivation they comforteth me.
It demandeth preparation of storage space
for the acquistion of countless documents.
It annointeth my head with burning mid-night
oil; my family group sheets
runneth over.
Surely birth, marriage, & death dates shall
follow me all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of a family-
history seeker forever.
