Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and to send a long a special holiday poem appropriate for the holidays....and everyone's dream in genealogy.. A genealogy-related humorous Christmas message goes as follows: "On the 12th day of Christmas my research gave to me: 12 Kings of England, 11 books on heraldry, 10 knights on horseback, 9 Nordic sailors, 8 closet skeletons, 7 diaries brimming, 6 wills in probate, 5 Pilgrims lines, 4 French men, 3 town clerks, 2 attic trunks, and a patriarch upon my family tree..." Sent to me by Asa Daniel. I'd love to know the original author, if you know please let me know. I could use it on the humor page I have set up on the net at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcass/laughs.htm Thanks and happy holidays to everyone.
