"The Laws Of Genealogy"
author unknown

Yours is the ONLY last name not found among the three billion in the world famous Mormon archives in Salt Lake City.

The will you need is in the safe on board the "Titanic".

The 37 volume, 16,000 page history of your county of origin isn't indexed.

The critical link in your family tree is named "Smith".

You learned that great aunt Matilda's executor just sold her life's collection of family genealogical materials to a flea market dealer "somewhere in New York City".

The spelling of your European ancestor's name bears no relationship to its current spelling or pronunciation.

The keeper of the vital records you need will just have been insulted by another genealogist.

"All in the Family"

But there's another question which requires a different view.

If you could meet your ancestors, would they be proud of you?
