>Dear Santa: Don't bring me new dishes;
>I don't need a new kind of game,
>Genealogists have peculiar wishes;
>For Christmas, I just want a surname.
>
>A new washing machine would be great,
>But it's not the desire of my life.
>I've just found an ancestor's birth date;
>What I need now is the name of the wife.
>
>My heart doesn't yearn for a ring
>That would put a real diamond to shame.
>What I want is a much cheaper thing:
>Please give me Mary's last name.
>
>To see my heart singing with joy
>Don't bring me a red leather suitcase.
>Bring me a genealogist's toy;
>A surname, with dates and a place!
