Geneology Tidbits (part I) Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate. Genealogists never die, they just lose their roots. Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need. Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin! Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living. Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools! I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom. Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards. My ancestors are hiding in a witness protection program. My family tree is a few branches short! Research: What I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm doing. Take nothing but ancestors, leave nothing but records. Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.
