  • So many relatives, so little time
  • So many branches, so few roots
  • I'd rather look for dead people than have them look for me
  • Life is lived forward, but understood backwards
  • I used to have a life then I started doing genealogy
  • Hi Ho! Hi Ho! Now where did my ancestors go
  • I collect dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin
  • Gene Police! You, out of the pool
  • Genealogist caught trying to chop down family tree
  • Genealogists never die, they just haunt cemeteries
  • Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate
  • Genealogists...People helping people...that's what it's all about
  • Genealogists don't die, they just loose their census
  • Genealogists live in the past lane
  • Reminder!! Undocumented genealogy is mythology
  • Whoever said seek and ye shall find was not a genealogist
  • A family tree can wither if no one tends its roots
  • Someday you'll be an ancestor too
  • Trees without roots fall over
