- 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 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 acquisition 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
