Is this everyone?
Only relatives with a profile here are drawn, so a family can be larger than this. A line here can also be wrong. A marriage is drawn as ended only where its end is recorded, so a spouse drawn here may be a former one.

Everybody enjoys being out-and-about as a small child looking for fossils, so it is second-nature to anyone to do that, I guess I was able to keep at it longer than most.
It is a very important time in the world to realize that we do have a common past and we have a common future.
I feel very strongly that we again need to focus on how we can safeguard these collections for future generations as well.
