WHY IS IT THAT

The only overturned, face-down gravestone in the cemetery is grandfather's.

The blot on the page of the census cover's your grandmother's birth date.

Your Ancestor's will leave his estate to his beloved wife and children, but
doesn't name them.

The person next to you in the library has all the luck and you cannot find a
thing.

The information you desperatly need could be found only on the 1890 census.

Just as you are hot on the trail of an ancestor, it's always time for the
library to close.

The Census Enumerator missed the entire section where all of your family
lived.

You received that long awaited death certificate, and under Mother and Father,
it reads unknown.

You finally tracked down that person who is supposed to have so much family
information, only to find he doesn't have near as much as you.
