It=20 restoreth my ancestral knowledge.
It leadeth me into the paths of = census=20 records
And ships passenger lists
For my surnames sake.

For a strong urge is with me.
The = curiosity=20 and motivation they comfort me.
It demandeth preparation of storage=20 space
For the acquisition of countless documents.

My family group sheets runneth = over.
Surely=20 birth marriage & death dates

And I shall dwell in the house of a family history seeker = forever.
