KINSMAN (Original Poem by Wayne Hand, 1999)
Alas, my elusive kinsman
You've led me quite a chase
I thought I'd found your courthouse
But the Yankees burned the place.
You always kept your bags packed
Although you had no fame, and
Just for the fun of it
Twice you changed your name.
You never owed any man, or
At least I found no bills
In spite of eleven offspring
You never left a will.
They say our name's from Europe
Came state side on a ship
Either they lost the passenger list
Or granddad gave them the slip.
I'm the only one that's looking
Another searcher I can't find
I play (maybe that's his fathers name)
As I go out of my mind.
They said you had a headstone
In a shady plot
I've been there twenty times, and
Can't even find the lot.
You never wrote a letter
Your Bible we can't find
It's probably in some attic
Out of sight and out of mind.
You first married a..........Smith
And just to set the tone
The other four were Sarahs
And everyone a Jones.
You cost me two fortunes
One of which I did not have
My wife, my house and Fido
God, how I miss that yellow lab.
But somewhere you slipped up,
Ole Boy, Somewhere you left a track
And If I don't find you this year
Well..........Next year I'll be back.

Hi All:
Found one of my "notes to self". Been meaning to pass along a couple of
keyboard tips, but just forgot. No wonder I have a hard time finding
ancestors. Hope this isn't too *off topic*; it is really useful for
genealogy.
Some may already know these, but for those that don't, they can be very
useful. These are for making some of those 'strange' letters you run into=
.In all cases, you hold down the ALT key, while entering the +(plus sign) a=
nd
numerical sequence "from the keyboard pad"; then release. Make sure your =
NUM
lock is on.
Alt=09=09+20 =3D =09=B6
"=09=09+21 =3D =09=A7
"=09=09+137 =3D=09=EB
"=09=09+138 =3D=09=E8
"=09=09+145 =3D=09=E6
"=09=09+155 =3D=09=A2
"=09=09+156 =3D=09=A3=09same thing w/Alt+0163 =3D =A3 **The ever popular *=
pound* sign
"=09=09+167 =3D=09=BA (degree mark)
"=09=09+171 =3D=09=BD
"=09=09+172 =3D=09=BC
"=09=09+0137 =3D =89 (0/percent)
"=09=09+0153 =3D =99 (trademark)
"=09=09+0156 =3D =9C
"=09=09+0169 =3D =A9 (copyright)
"=09=09+0190 =3D =BE
The above are just of a few of the ones I have found helpful. They can be
created in word processing documents, e-mail and genealogy program notes
sections.

Gloria.
Many thanks for the listing of the special signs/marks. I have never
seen such a listing on anybody's page or article before. I am sure
they will be useful to many people.
Good searching,
Charles
