I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him
still. He moved around from place to place and did
not leave a will. He married where a courthouse
burned. He mended all his fences. He avoided any man
who came to take the U.S. Census.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no
fame. And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed
his name. His parents came from Europe. They should
be upon some list of passengers to U.S.A., but somehow
they got missed.
And no one else in this world is searching for this
man. So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can.
I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was
blessed; but the weather took engraving, and some
vandals took the rest.
He died before the county clerks decided to keep
records. No Family Bible has emerged, in spite of all
my efforts. To top it off the ancestor, who caused me
many groans, Just to give me one more pain, betrothed
a girl named Jones.

I thought you all might enjoy this. I came across it
4 years ago. :)
