MY FAMILY RULES

Go Forth and Multiply.

Pack up and move to a different location many times.

Use names other than those given to you.

Refuse to talk about your family or ancestors.

Make up interesting stories that can't be verified.

Make spelling changes to your name regularly.
(And anything else important, or otherwise)

Have many different birth dates.

Do not record any kind of family information.

Claim to have come from a different Country.
(preferably one that doesn't keep records)

Do not save any family correspondence.

Does this sound like your family? Well, it sure sounds like mine. I
copied this from another site and thought it was too good not to pass on to
others. Let's change these rules! Remember someday people will be looking
for YOU. Leave a good paper trail.......

Remember, Pope Co Gen Com tomorrow night [9th of Feb] at 6:30 in the Annex,
we're working on the cemeteries. Come join us!!
