As I mentioned, one of my passions is searching our genealogy. I have spent a great many hours over the past few years not without some moments of banging my head against a wall in frustration. As I am a glutton for punishment I have persevered and now have a great deal to share with my family. This poem is just a little ditty on that subject.

OUR TREE

See that tree? It once was bareAll stark and bleak and nakedCould I leave it there alone? Not me, a masterpiece I had to make it

I covered that tree with name after nameThe ones that I discoveredWhile turning stones and picking brains I even looked in cupboards

Frustrating at times, but lots of fun tooDoing this wonderful treeFinding those, for if not for them We would not be a family
