Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our members

Post by Northern Lass »

May I be the first to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Thanks to everyone who makes this forum a great success and
as always to admin who makes it happen.

I leave you with this from Staffordshire Rootsweb


MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR


To Be Sung to the Tune of:


GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN


Good Wishes, family history buffs,
Wherever you may be,
It's time to close that pc down
And raise a glass with me;
We've done our best the whole year through
Our ancestors to find:
So lets drink to that ever-growing tree,
(This round's on me!)
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree.

We know it's not an easy task
To trace Great-uncle Jim,
Who went to Burma, married thrice,
And lived a life of sin;
He ran off with the parson's daughter -
She was number three -
So let's drink to that ever-growing tree
(This round's on me!)
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree.

Alo-ysius Finkelbaum
Is not a common name,
You'd think he'd crop up somewhere
But he's hiding just the same;
Tried IGI, the Census, FRC and BMD -
Hell, let's drink to that ever-growing tree,
(Thish roundsh on me!)
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree.

Tom Gadsden was a mariner - in 1691
He hopped the twig in Nevis
After too long in the sun,
But how to find his resting-place
Will be the death of ME!
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree,
(Da de da dee)
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree.

Though brick walls may confound us
And our eyes are growing dim,
We'll never stop our searching
For that one elusive limb -
We're addicts and we're proud of it
As anyone can see,
So let's drink to that ever-growing tree -
(Hic - no more for me!)
Let's drink to that ever-growing tree.

Well were now going into a third year and all i can say is its getting better and better, thanks to admin for all his work and updating of the site, and the mods for keeping it running, but most of all a big thankyou to you all of the members as we wouldn't have such a great and important site, inconjunction with bcc that makes genealogy easier for so many, and not for getting the famous snug area for all the chit chat, So without any more due i will shut up and wish you a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year
