If you could see your ancestors
all standing in a row,
would you be proud of them?
Or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made,
in climbing family trees,
and some of them you know,
do not particularly please.
If you could see your ancestors,
all standing in a row,
there might be some of them perhaps,
you wouldn't care to know.
But here's another question,
which requires a different view...
If you could meet your ancestors
would they be proud of you?

Searching for lost relatives? Just win the Lottery!
He was the Dutch Elm Disease of the family tree!
Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem, leads to two more!
I'm always late!! My ancestors must have arrived on the Juneflower!
Can cousins, once removed, return?
Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools!
If you don't think money talks, wait till they read your will.
By the time a man realizes maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's always wrong.
Pruning family trees is not allowed.
How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE??
Having children is hereditary. If your parents hadn't had any, neither could you!
All right! Everybody out of the gene pool!
I think that I shall never see, a finished genealogy
Why waste your money looking up your family tree, just go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.(-- Mark Twain)
Old Folks Are Worth a Fortune
Remember, old folks are worth a fortune, with silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs.
I have become a little older since I saw you last, and a few changes have come into my life since then. Frankly, I have become quite a frivolous old gal. I am seeing five gentlemen every day. As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go to see John. Then Charlie Horse comes along, and when he is here, he takes a lot of my time and attention.
When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!
P.S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said at my age I should be thinking about the hereafter. I told him, "Oh, I do it all the time. No matter where I am - in the parlor, upstairs, in the kitchen, or down in the basement - I ask myself, Now, what am I here after?"
Signed, an old gal.

our lives may grow
in different directions,
but our roots remain as one.
