I have just found a brilliant Dire Straits number which seems so apt for our wee hobby.

"On Every Street"

It was almost written for us...;)

Charlesworth, I think we all need a laugh, hoping somehow to get a compilation CD going by one of the Ancestry companies. Who knows could be a seller.

How about these -

I Don't Live Today, by Jimi Hendrix - the ancestors' anthem.
What A Botheration, by Lee Perry - when we can't find that elusive ancestor.
(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone, by the Monkees - to those who pinch our research.
