    MY ELUSIVE ANCESTOR

    I went searching for my ancestor, I cannot find him still
    He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will
    He married where a courthouse burned, he mended all his fences
    He avoided any man who came to take the Census

    He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame
    And every twenty years or so, this rascal changed his name
    His parents came from Europe. They should be on some list of passengers
    But somehow they got missed

    And no one else in this wide world is searching for this man
    So I play genea-solitaire to find him if I can
    I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed
    But the weather took engraving, and some vandals took the rest

    He died before the county clerks decided to keep records
    No family bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts
    To top it off, this ancestor, who caused me many groans
    Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named Jones!
