The Genealogist's ABC Song (Verse 1) A is for Ancestors, lives that came before, B is for Birth records opening the door. C is for Census, where families appear, D is for Descendants through each passing year. E is for Evidence gathered with care, F is for Families whose stories we share. G is for Genealogy, the joy that we know, H is for Heirlooms with memories to show. (Verse 2) I is for Indexes helping us find, J is for Journeys our forebears left behind. K is for Kinfolk, both distant and near, L is for Lineage cherished year by year. M is for Marriages faithfully penned, N is for Neighbors who turned into friends. O is for Origins across sea and shore, P is for Pedigrees growing evermore. (Chorus) Turn another page, search another tree, Every little record tells a tale to me. One more clue, one more name, one more mystery— That's the happy life of a family historian! (Verse 3) Q is for Queries when puzzles remain, R is for Records that reward every pain. S is for Sources that strengthen our case, T is for Tombstones in a peaceful place. U is for Uncles and aunts we uncover, V is for Vital records like no other. W is for Wills that tell who got what, X marks the signature when writing was not. (Bridge) Y is for Yesterday guiding today, Z is for Zeal that won't fade away. From courthouse to archives, from attic to sea, Our family's story is waiting for me. (Final Chorus) Turn another page, search another tree, Every little record tells a tale to me. Generation after generation faithfully, We're preserving our family's history. Though the years may pass and memories grow dim, Every faded document still sings a hymn. The names live on for all eternity— That's the priceless gift of family history!
