Hi Carole,
Just a few quotes will send some more later.

sometimes you can't always see

Chinese Proverb.
Remember me for the Family Tree..
My name, my days, my strife,
Then I'll ride upon the wings of time.
And live and endless life.

Beatitudes of a Family Genealogist
Blessed are the great-grandmothers,
who hoarded newspaper clippings and old letters...
For they tell the story of their time.
Don't shake the family tree too hard - you might not like what falls out.

My family tree is full of notholes. It's not him, it's not her, it's not them.
Have a great day,
Until next time,
Karin. |

| Love them all Karin.
I just love profound one liners.
I used to name my trips to Jeddah when I worked there.
My last tour there in 1994 I named my profundity world tour.
It helped pass the time.
Love to all.

The Genealogist's Psalm
Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray; It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried tombstones.
It leadeth me into still Court Houses,
it restoreth my ancestral knowledge.
It leadeth me in paths of census records and ships'
passenger lists
for my surname's sake.

| Hi Karin,
I've transferred your last post on here to a new Topic on our
"Other Counties" Board
>> Robert Smith b.1819 Northumberland, d.1876 Lisbon >>
& a copy on our North America Board ..........
>> Karin's DNA Match to Robert K Smith in America >>
(I got a bit mixed up with all this!! Robert the ancestor & Robert the descendent who now lives in America!! think its sorted now!!  )
And thank you so much for posting here the Genealogy Quotes. They are wonderful aren't they!! This little one is one of my favourites......
