AM I REALLY ME ??

To find out, If I could, The making of me.
All that I knew was Great- Grandfather's Name,
Not knowing his wife or whence he came.

I chased him through villiages, cities, and States,
And came up with pages of odd names and dates.
When I put them together, it makes me forlorn,
I'd proven Great-grandfather had never been born.

One day I was sure that the truth had been found,
New dates that would turn the whole thing around.
I looked up old records from my Great Uncle Tim
And proved that his Dad was younger than him.

Then, just when my hopes were fading so fast,
I discovered new records from out of the past.
The facts I've gathered make me quite sad
My dear old Great Grandpa was never a dad.

I think some rascal is pulling my leg
With records that prove I was hatched from an egg.
Dispite all this effort documenting my tree,
I can't help but wonder If I am really Me..
