The GeneaBloggers "Just Make Up Some Lyrics" Challenge

Bill West, the author of the genealogy blog West in New England has posted his annual "Just Make Up Some Lyrics" Challenge.  I've never participated in this meme, but I decided to try it out this year.

According to the rules we have to mention which song I used to parody these lyrics.  I used "Somewhere" from West Side Story.   If you sing along to the tune, you can have some fun with my offering.

Somewhere (sung by your ancestors)

There’s a date for us,

Somewhere a grave for us.

Parents, siblings and a legal heir,

In a book

Somewhere...

Evidence of us….

You’ll find microfilm of us.

Vital records, wills, probate docs,

Cemetery plot cards,

Somewhere

Someday….

We’ll put it all on Ancestry

Add stories, charts, GEDCOM, deeds…

Someday

There’s a tree of us.

Dates and places of us

Hold my photo and I’ll show you where-

Hold my memory and I’ll take you there…

Somehow

Some day,

Somewhere!
