I don’t have a family tree, it is more like a family web.

My ancestors name was Foote. I went to visit a graveyard in a small village where they were reputed to have lived. I sent a postcard home to my parents. “There’s not even one Foot(e) in the grave”
I shook my family tree and a bunch of nuts fell out
My great-grandma from Germany couldn’t read or write, so she signed her naturalization papers with her Mark, an ex.
Grandpa wouldn’t talk about his heritage, so I went digging to find the horse thief. All I’ve found so far were a bookie and numbers runner.
In Third grade, my father’s teacher asked the class if any of the students had any Indian ancestors. My father raised his hand. The teacher asked him, “What tribe was it?” My father replied, “I don’t think it was a whole tribe. Grandpa always said that it was just one wandering Indian.”
That first one is mine!! I’ve gotten lots of feedback on it when corresponding with archives. Missing is my other standby. My great grandfather fell out of a space ship and was raised by unicorns until he married for the first time at 35 years of age.
Genealogists never die, they just loose their census.
I’m more interested in dead people than alive ones!
Can’t decide what to say?
Knock knock jokes
When my husband wakes up and I am still on my computer…
Him: Why are you still up?
Me: I am looking for dead people.
Him: Why don’t you just let them rest in peace?
Me: Where’s the fun in that?
