A LITTLE GENEALOGY HUMOR
or
GENEALOGY PROVERBS I'VE HEARD/READ AND BORROWED (Pat Greathouse
of Pike County)
Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
Cemetery: (n) A marble orchard not to be taken for
granite.
Crazy .... is a relative term in MY family.
Genealogy: Chasing your own tale!
Genealogy: It's all relative in the end anyway.
Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people.
I trace my family history so I will know who to blame.
It's hard to be humble with ancestors like mine!
Life takes it's toll. Have exact change ready!
Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery!
That's strange; half my ancestors are WOMEN!
Do I even WANT ancestors? Some I found I wish I could
lose.
Every family tree has some sap in it.
FLOOR: (n) The place for storing your priceless genealogy
records.
Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.
Genealogists do it in the library.
Genealogists live in the past lane.
Genealogists never die, they just loose their roots.
Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads
I need.
Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live
cousin!
Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the
living.
Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children
act like fools!
I looked at my family tree ... there were two dogs using
it.
I think my family tree is a few branches short of full
bloom.
Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
My ancestors are hiding in a witness protection program.
My family tree is a few branches short!
Research: What I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm
doing.
Take nothing but ancestors, leave nothing but records.
Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're
all related.
"May you ask the right question of the right person at
the right time."
"Genealogy it's not just a hobby, it's a way of life!"
