Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who has no fools, knaves, or beggars in his family was begot by a flash of lightning.
English Proverb

Hodding S. Carter
Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
Unknown
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.
Alex Haley, Roots
Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
Mark Twain
We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business.
Jimmy Carter
Former U.S. President
