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 bare
All stark and bleak and naked
Could I leave it there alone?
Not me, a masterpiece I had to make it

I covered that tree with name after name
The ones that I discovered
While turning stones and picking brains
I even looked in cupboards

Frustrating at times, but lots of fun too
Doing this wonderful tree
Finding those, for if not for them
We would not be a family
