  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!

  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.
