Genealogists do it with a computer. Genealogists do it for the memories. Genealogists are time unravelers. Genealogy is people collecting people. I'm not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged.
Genealogy is relative.
One of the most difficult things to give away is kindness, it is usually returned. My roots only go down so far, but my branches spread forever. Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards. Originality is the art of concealing your sources. Undocumented genealogy is mythology.
