to prevent your marriage, or have you met Humpty Dumpty or the Red Queen.

I wonder how many of us "genealogists" were that when we were young?
I am reminded of a sign hanging in my Landlady's entrance hall about
60 years ago: It was one of those wood rectangles into which the
words had been "burnt" so that the surface had singed:
There is so much good in the worst of us
and so much bad in the best of us
that it ill behoves any of us
to talk about the rest of us
