I went searching for an ancestor, I cannot find him still. He moved
around from place to place and did not leave a will. He married where a
courthouse burned, he mended all his fences. He avoided any man who came
to take the U.S. Census.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame, And every
20 years or so, this rascal changed his name. His parents came from
Europe. They should be on some list of passengers to the U.S.A., but
somehow they got missed.
And no one else in this world is searching for this man. So, I play
geneasolitaire to find him if I can. I'm told he's buried in a plot,
with tombstone he was blessed; but the weather took engraving, and some
vandals took the rest.
He died before the county clerks decided to keep records. No family
Bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts. To top it off, this
ancestor who caused me many groans, Just to give me one more pain,
betrothed a girl named JONES!
