Friedrich Nietzsche

The time had come to protest with the heart, that to deny one's genealogy with the earth was to commit treason against one's soul.

Terry Tempest Williams

A friend of ours has a hobby doing genealogy, and we found out that we were cousins in the ninth degree, that we had a common ancestor on the Mayflower.

Marion Zimmer Bradley

The craze of genealogy is connected with the epidemic for divorce. If we can't figure out who our living relatives are, then maybe we'll have more luck with the dead ones.
