The
Tree Of Genealogy

Once again,
I'm deep into my family tree
Gathering
relatives, and what they mean to me
Cousins,
they seem to be everywhere
I bet I even
have some, who are unaware
You have to
have an interest, in your family history
Willing to
delve into, those who are a mystery
If you
aren't interested, distant cousins you'll not find
Out of your
reach, are those not on your mind
I like to
see their pictures, those relatives of mine
And know
that when I research, it is a special sign
That their
wishes, are to share all that I do
With cousins
and other relatives, so they would know too
I tried a
new method, adding their information to an index card
It's easier
to follow them, and it doesn't make it hard
I can find
missing information, any time at all
Because many
times, I come upon a brick wall
Just when
you think, that they are out of sight
Information
will appear, with a guiding light
Just be a
little patient, because when the time is right
You'll soon
find yourself, caught up in family delight
Nothing is
more interesting, than doing your family history
Where did
they come from, unravel the family mystery
Nothing is
more fun, than climbing the Tree of Genealogy
Finding so
many relatives, and how they're related to me
I started researching
my ancestry in 1990. And have found
out so much about my
ancestors and other relatives. I even
took a trip to Quebec
in 2001, and met so many relatives, and
walked the land my
ancestors did. I've met many cousins, who
have become very dear
to my heart. It's been an amazing climb,
and I think I shall
enjoy it for many years to come.
