| No - yes - maybe - could be - perhaps. Musings of a genealogist. Not tonight dear, I just got the new versions of MG & FTM! Nothing ventured, nothing gained, no one found! Okay, so I don't descend from anyone... now what? Old genealogists never die, they just haunt cemeteries. Old genealogists never die, they just lose their census. Old Genealogists never die. They just haunt Archives. Olly, olly, oxen free! All hiding ancestors can come out NOW! Once I gave up on reality, I had so many more options. One of the most difficult things to give away is kindness, it is usually returned! Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress. Originality is the art of concealing your sources. Others work from sun to sun! But a genealogists work is never done!! Pruning the Family Tree is NOT permitted! RELATIVES...People who come to dinner who aren't friends. Remember, undocumented genealogy is mythology. Research: What I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm doing. Researching [YOUR NAME] anytime, anywhere, any takers? Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery! Searching for roots beats chasing dust bunnies! Searching shipping records? Simply naval gazing. Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall! Share your knowledge, it is a way to achieve immortality. Sharing genealogy is a rewarding experience! Shh! Be vewy, vewy quiet...I'm hunting forebearers. Sign of a redneck: circular family tree. Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors! Snoopers welcome! Feel free to provide comments and relatives! So many ancestors...so little time! So many dead men! So little time! Someday YOU'LL be an ancestor too! Sometimes you find an ancestor hanging from the family tree! Still trying to decorate my family tree. Sure, a real job would be nice, but it would interfere with my genealogy! Take nothing but ancestors, leave nothing but records. That's strange; half my ancestors are WOMEN! That's the problem with the gene pool: No lifeguard. |
| The black sheep keeps the best info on the family. The fellow who leans on his family tree may never get out of the woods. The gene pool could use a little chlorine! Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related. There are no answers, only cross-references. There is no fire, officer! I'm just chasing my ancestors! There is no such thing as a useless piece of information. There is strength them there Roots. They've said *you* are the fertilizer of your family tree! Time and Genealogy waits for no man. To a genealogist, EVERYTHING is relative! Trees without roots fall over. Try genealogy. You can't get fired and you can't quit! Warning!! There are no lifeguards in the gene pool! We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then it gets worse. We shall find no ancestor before his time. We shall gather at the river (or the genealogy library if it rains). What do you mean my "grandparents didn't have any kids"? What do you mean my Birth Certificate expired? What do you mean my family tree has root rot! What have you done with my ancestors' papers?? When I searched for ancestors, I found friends! When marriage is outlawed only outlaws will have inlaws. When tracing ancestors, please stay within the lines! When you marry, your family tree can become a forest. When your mind goes blank, don't forget to turn off the sound! Whoever said "seek and ye shall find" was NOT a genealogist. Who's in charge of washing the Family Group Sheets? Why are there so many gnarled limbs on my family tree? With MY luck, my family tree has root-rot! Yikes! My genes are faded and full of holes! Your genealogy is never done!! |
