The Genealogist's Psalm
Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray. It maketh me lie down and examine half buried tombstones. It leadeth me into still courthouses: It restoreth my ancestral knowledge. It leadeth me in the paths of census records and ship's passenger lists for my surnames' 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. It demandeth preparations 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.
