Hi Everyone

I saw this on a Queensland list. Thought you might be interested to read it.

Kind regards
Heather

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 Ships Passenger Lists for my Surnames' sake.
Yea, though I wade through the Shadows of Research Libraries and Microfilm Readers,
I shall fear no Discouragment, for a Strong Urge is with me.
The curiosity and Motivation, they Comfort me.
It demandeth preparation of Storage Space for the Aquisition of Countless Documents.
It annointeth my Head with burning Midnight Oil,
My Family Group Sheets runneth over.
Surely Birth, Marriage and Death dates shall follow me all the Days of my Life;
and I shall dwell in the House of a Family History Seeker Forever.
