23rd Psalm for Genealogists 

• Genealogy is my pastime, I shall not stray
• It maketh me to lie down and examine tombstones
• It leadeth me into still courthouses
• It restoreth my Ancestral Knowledge
• It leadeth me in paths of census records and ships’ passenger lists for my surnames’ sake
• Yea, though I walk through the shadows of research libraries
• I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge is within me
• The curiosity and motivation, they comforteth me
• It demandeth preparation of storage space for the acquisition of countless documents
• It anointest my head with burning midnight oil
• My family group sheets runneth over
• Surely, birth, marriage, and death dates shall follow me all the days of my life
• And I shall dwell in the house of a family history-seeker forever.
