A Prayer for Genealogists
Lord, help me dig into the past And sift the sands
of time That I might find the roots that made This family tree of
mine. Lord, help me trace the ancient roads On which my
fathers trod, And led them through so many lands To find our present
sod.
Lord, help me find an ancient book or dusty
manuscript, That's safely hidden now away in some forgotten crypt.
Lord, let it bridge the gaps that
haunt my soul when I can't find this missing link between some name
that ends the same as mine.

Future Genealogist
A
modern mother was explaining to her
little girl about pictures in the family photo
album.
The
mother said, "This is the geneticist
with
your surrogate mother and here's your sperm donor
and your father's clone. This is me holding you
when you were just a
frozen embryo."
"Who is that?" asked the daughter. "Oh,"
answered the mother, "The
lady with the very
troubled look on her face is your Aunt.
She's the family genealogist!"

STRANGERS IN THE BOX
Come look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
at the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.
I wish I knew these people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all of their memories
are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like,
how did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time
to tell who, what, where, or when,
these faces of my heritage
would
come to life again.
Could this become the fate
of pictures
we take today?
The faces
and the memories someday to be passed away?
Make time to save your stories,
seize the opportunity when it knocks, or
someday you and yours could be:
"The Strangers in the Box!"
