49 GENEALOGY USES FOR A FLUTAPHONE ON PARADE!

#29 - Baton- What could be more appropriate to use when you're
leading the Genealogist’s Parade in the immortal musical
“The Genealogy Man?”

Come on, sing it with me:

“76 Laptops lead the big parade
With 110 PDAs close at hand
They were followed by rows and rows
Of folks who wisely know
To keep their gedcoms close at hand!”


So. A challenge to my fellow genealogy bloggers. It’s the
Genealogist’s Parade and you have a float in it. It can
be on anything or anyone in your family tree or it can reflect
your heritage. It can be serious or humorous.


What’s on your float? Post it here or on your blog but let me
know so we can run them here past the Review Stand!

    Hi Janet!

    Well, so far you're the first to enter a unit. The more the merrier, and any parade needs at least two or three bands!

    Elizabeth,
    I'm still grinning.
    For some reason your post addy
    got chopped up so I'll post it
    here again so the rest of the
    genealogy bloggers can see it:

    It's pretty boring, but representative. :-)

    I was inspired by this challenge to make a float too. It is over at my blog -

    Thanks for this - it was so much fun!

    What would a parade be without some classic automobiles to carry the dignitaries?

    You can find my entry at The love of fine cars: it's in the genes.

    See you at the parade!
