Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Genealogy Sayings In Latin

I recently came across a genealogy blog I love to following called Genea-Musings.com where Randy Seaver does something called Saturday Night Genealogy Fun on his blog. I thought I would give it a try on my blog. As planning the game on my blog too. To view Randy's post visited http://www.geneamusings.com/2017/04/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-genealogy.html



YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS:

1) Find some of your favorite sayings, aphorisms, jokes, etc. They can be genealogy-related, or not.

2)  Translate them into Latin using Google Translate


3)  Share them with me in your own blog post, in a comment to this post.



MY 5 SAYINGS

1) Latin- Genealogists moriturum se radicibus amittere.
Genealogiæ suæ: A paleas'acervus plena acus. Non opus est relatorum.


English - Genealogists never die, they just loose their roots.
Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need.


2) Latin- Genealogiæ suæ: aliquando enim et vivere Collectis mortuus frater!

English - Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin!

3) Latin - Genealogiæ suæ: Ubi tu confundere, et mortuus vivos irritare.

English - Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living.

4) Latin - Et amicos ire solent parentes cumulare.

English - Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.

5) Latin - Si nescis historiam, nescio vos quidquam. Tu folium arboris partem esse, qui nesciat

English - If you don’t know history, you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree
