Subject: [COULOMBE-L] Those Genealogical Blues...

Here's another... Author unknown.

I started out calmly, tracing my tree,
 To find if I could find the makings of me.
 And all that I had was Great-grandfather's name,
 not knowing his wife or from where he came.
 I chased him across a long line of states,
 And came up with pages and pages of dates.
 When all put together, it made me forlorn,
 Proved poor Great-grandpa had never been born.
 One day I was sure the truth I had found,
 Determined to turn this whole thing upside down.
 I looked up the record of one Uncle John,
 But then I found the old man to be younger than his son.
 Then when my hopes were fast growing dim,
 I came across records that must have been him.
 The facts I collected made me quite sad,
 Dear old Great grandfather was never a Dad.
 I think someone is pulling my leg,
 I am not at all sure I wasn't hatched from an egg.
 After hundreds of dollars I've spent on my tree,
 Can't help but wonder if I'm really me..
