Time and Families have no beginning, no middle, no end. This blog is a story of families and histories...my family specifically. It does not begin with me. I have children and sixty years of time past. I must be somewhere in the middle of my family history.

Ah, but mine is a history that goes back to the primordial bubbling of a murky Darwinian goo. If I could trace this history back far enough my earliest ancestor would undoubtedly be a molecular organism on her way towards an amphibious existence. Yet even that is not far enough back in time. Perhaps my actual personal voyage should begin about four billion years ago with a bit of Star Stuff, as Carl Sagan describes in Cosmos. There is no beginning, no end.
Alas, Ancestry.com does not go back that far...
