23rd. Psalm For Genealogists
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 leaded me into the Paths of Census
Records and Ships Passenger Lists for my Surnames' sake. Yea, though I wade
through the Shadows of Research Libraries and Microfilm Readers, I shall
fear no Discouragement, for a Strong Urge is with me. The curiosity and
Motivation, they Comfort 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 records dates shall follow me all the days of my Life; and I shall
dwell in the House of the Family History Seeker Forever.......
