The Family Tree

 I've been fooling around with some ancestry documents that my dad has collected over the years.  I'm trying to fill out a big family tree chart.  The tree is filled with laborers, a sea captain, a director of a minor league baseball team.  There's even a Minuteman on the tree. I think my favorite branch on the tree houses a comb maker.  Combs are helpful and some of the combs of yore were made of the bones of WHALES.

Fascinating! I, for one, rarely use a comb, but I do understand the importance.

This is a great project and that is one great dog.

I wish someone would document my ancestors. I'm frankly too lazy but I might pay someone to do it. I doubt they'd find anyone as interesting as a comb maker or sea captain or minuteman, but who knows. Good job Lee. Don't forget to include Karl--he could be barking at the tree.
