Preview:Genealogy informs us who our family ancestors are and we become obsessed to find more and more. We fill out all these little boxes with names from the past but to what avail? "I have nine hundred names in my tree so far," I have heard people say, and I am one of them. Do we do this as a conscious or unconscious desire to find our roots because we are frightened of losing our identity? Who we are and why?
We are being threatened as never before by forces beyond our control. We know we are migrants to this country. My family probably came with Willy the Conk. How many people were here then, probably two million, and now sixty-three million is nearer the mark. So it all set or thinking how did these folk live in the past, in the 17th century and later? Did they have a miserable life of drudgery and toil with the bate necessities to enable them to live? And so I became more interested in this than in my extended family research.
