Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World
When Sam Cooke wrote the lyrics to the award winning hit ‘What a Wonderful World’ in 1959, he was telling us that he ‘did not know much about Genealogy’. You might now be humming the tune to yourself , frantically searching for the word ‘genealogy’ and you would be correct in confirming, it is not there. None the less, the references to history and geography are and my point is that without some knowledge of both, it is sometimes difficult to understand Genealogy and wok through the plot that is your family history. in fact, both things help us understand much more.

My post is just about the correlation between the knowledge of History, Geography and Genealogy. Sam Cook the singer gives me a nice introduction and an ending to which I can add something brief about him , that’s all. It’s just my style :-)
