Genealogist's Psalm Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray. It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried tombstones. It leadeth me into still courthouses. It restoreth my ancestral knowledge. It leadeth me in paths of census records, ship's passenger list for my surname's sake. Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries, and microfilm readers, I shall fear no discouragement. For a strong urge is within me; the curiosity and motivation they comforteth me. It demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of countless documents. It annointeth my head with burning midnight oil; my family group sheets runneth over. Surely birth, marriage, and death dates shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of a family-history seeker forever.
