Part of moving Family History projects forward is that you need to have fun doing it. If you’re not having fun, you’re probably not doing it.
The following is an attempt to bring in some humor.
Please note that these jokes are original, so I apologize in advance if they don’t tickle your funny bone as much as others you’ve heard. Also note that though I did not attempt to imitate other jokes, it is entirely possible that some of them are similar.

| Q: How do you speak Family History? A: With Family Group Sheets, and Pedigree Charts, and Descendant Charts, Oh My! — |
| Be kind to your ancestors. They’re a dying breed. — |
| How much treasure have you stored in your Genealogy Bank? Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. — |
| The DNA is strong with this one… — |
| We lay the dead in graves. We lay records about them in Archives. But later on we lay an egg when we find out what they’ve done. — |
| Genealogy: One giant step backwards for all mankind. — |
| Gravestone: Ima Genealogist “Going underground to find them”. — |
