Genealogy is My Pastime!
Genealogy is my pastime; I shall not stray.
It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried tombstones;
It leadeth me into still courthouses.
It restoreth my ancestral knowledge...It leadeth me into the
paths of census records
and ship passenger lists for
my Surnames' sake.
Yea, though I wade through the shadows of research libraries
and microfilm readers,
I shall fear no discouragement,
for a strong urge is
with me.
The curiosity and motivation, they comfort me.
It demandeth preparation of storage space; for the acquisition
of countless documents.
It annointeth my head with burning, midnight oil;
My family group sheets runneth over.
Surely, birth, marriage and death record dates shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the
House of the Family
History Seeker forever.......
