*Apologies if you have seen this before:-

Grandma and her family tree.

There's been a change in Grandma, we've noticed her of late,
She's always reading history or jotting down some date.
She's tracking back the family, we'll all have pedigrees,
Oh, Grandma's got a hobby, she's climbing Family Trees.

Poor Grandpa does the cooking and now, or so he states,
That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and dinner plates.
Grandma can't be bothered, she's busy as a bee,
Compiling genealogy - for the Family Tree.

She has no time to baby-sit, the curtains are a fright
No buttons left on Granddad's shirt, the flower bed's a sight.
She's given up her club work, the serials on T.V,
The only thing she does nowadays is climb the Family Tree

She goes down to the courthouse and studies ancient lore,
We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before.
The books are old and dusty, they make poor Grandma sneeze
A minor irritation when you're climbing Family Trees.

The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far
Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR.
A worthwhile avocation, to that we all agree
A monumental project, to climb the Family Tree.

Now some folks came from Scotland and some from Galway Bay,
Some were French as pastry, some German, all the way
Some went on west to stake their claim, some stayed near by the sea
Grandma hopes to find them all as she climbs the Family Tree.

She wanders through the graveyard in search of date or name
The rich,the poor,the in-between, all sleeping there the same.
She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze
That blows above the Fathers of all our Family Tree.

There were pioneers and patriots mixed in our kith and kin
Who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through thick and thin.
But none more staunch than Grandma, whose eyes light up with glee
Each time she finds a missing branch for our Family Tree.

Their skills were wide and varied, from carpenter to cook
And one(alas) the record shows was hopelessly a crook.
Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge, some tutored for a fee
Long lost in time, now all recorded on the Family Tree.

To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more
She knows the joys and heartaches of those who went before.
They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept, and now for you and me
They live again in spirit, around the Family Tree.

At last she's nearly finished and we are each exposed
Life will be the same again, this we all supposed!
Grandma will cook and sew, serve cookies with our tea
We'll all be fat, just as before that wretched Family Tree.

Sad to relate, the Preacher called and visited for a spell,
We talked about the Gospel, and other things as well.
The heathen folk, the poor and then - 'twas fate, it had to be
Somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and the Family Tree.

We tried to change the subject, we talked of everything
But then in Grandma's voice we heard that old familar ring.
She told him all about the past and soon was plain to see
The preacher, too, was nearly snared by Grandma and the Family Tree.

He never knew his Grandpa, his mother's name was..Clark?
He and Grandma talked and talked, outside it grew quickly dark.
We'd hoped our fears were groundless, but just like some disease
Grandma's become an addict - she's hooked on Family Trees!

Our souls were filled with sorrow, our hearts sank with dismay
Our ears could scarce believe the words we heard our Grandma say.
'It sure is a lucky thing that you have come to me
I know exactly how it's done, I'll climb your Family Tree’.

Hi all, I've been out Christmas shopping, got quite a few things in. Have you started yours yet Shelly? You're usually first to start.

Cath, she'll be over the moon with her party, you'll all have a great time.

Mo, I didn't know you were ill, I thought you were just having trouble getting on here. Hope you're soon feeling better.

Dermot came back with a vengeance!! :-D :-D



Shelly, I can only see 2 marriages between a John Marrow and an Ann but none of them are in the right area.

marriage: 17 Aug 1797 —Timberland, Lincoln, England
spouse: Ann Bradley


marriage: 19 Jun 1803 —Middlewich, Cheshire, England
spouse: Ann Moss

Afternoon one and all,
tonights the night as they say, lol. Looking forward to the party. The stress of keeping it a secret will be over and I can get my sanity back ;-)
Mo please get well soon, I'm mssing you.
Yvonne sometimes I have no problems getting on and at other times I feel like pulling my hair out and just give up. I wonder why GR can't sort it out.
Sun has just come out and drizzle has stopped, its been very warm and stuffy all day though.
Hope you all have a good weekend,
Back later, if I can see straight :-0 :-0

My computer says I need to upgrade my brain to be compatible with it's new software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This might be the hardest tongue-twister in English :

Six sick sikh sheep sought six sikh sick sheep.

While the six sick sikh sheep sought six sikh sick sheep, the six sikh sick sheep sought the six sick sikh sheep. The six sikh sick sheep and the six sick sikh sheep both sought sheik sherllock (who was also sick).

Sick sheik shellock seeked a cure for his sickness, the six sick sikh sheep’s sickness and the sixth of the sikh sick sheep as well.

Shelley sold sickness curing tablets to cure the sick sheik shellock. He gave the six sick sikh sheep each a cheap slick stick. Then he gave the six sikh sick sheep a sheet with healing powers. The 12 sikh sheep and sheik shellock were no longer sick!

Afternoon all

Linda, I've probably missed you now but I hope you have a lovely holiday.

Shelly, are you trying to get little legs into genealogy already? I don't think it's just this thread that's a problem because this morning I couldn't get onto any of them.

I've swapped over onto .co.nz and I've been able to get onto the thread.............. not sure if this'll post though.

It's not that nice here, wet and dark but mild. I've got the washer on but don't think I'll get them out on the line.

Cath, hope your daughter had a good day yesterday and hope the party goes well tonight. Be careful with that back though!!

Sorry to hear you didn't get the job Yvonne........... just keep trying.

Pat, do you feel any better for going to the gym?

Where's Stephen today?

Posts from Dermot are few and far between on here now.

Maddie and Mo seem to be on the missing list, maybe they can't get on the thread!!
