I received this today and since I'm a relative newcomer to genealogy I had never seen this before. Thought I would share it with my friends who would understand it. Aneice Thoughts on Genealogy -------------------------------------------------------------------- Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. I trace my family history so I will know who to blame. Can a first cousin, once removed, return? Searching for lost relatives? Win the lottery! Every family tree has some sap in it. Genealogy: A haystack full of needles. It's the threads I need. Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools. I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom. Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.
