Ancestry is a dual aspect entity, both private and public. It is private because it is personal. It is public because the stories of the ancestors need to be told.

Produktbeschreibung
Ancestry is a dual aspect entity, both private and public. It is private because it is personal. It is public because the stories of the ancestors need to be told. This work deals with both these aspects, while recording the facts for the family researcher and putting across the stories and lives that shaped the ancestors and how they saw and understood the world around them. One should never be ashamed of one's ancestors, for we have no more a right to judge them than they have to judge us. Yes, they really do live among us and they really do affect us from beyond the grave, not only with the material goods they leave us, but also with the karma that is passed down to us. It is our job, the living, to deal with this karma, to dig out the hidden aspects of our ancestors' lives that society and culture would not allow them to express. Seen through her eyes, Volume IV is the life & ancestry, the somewhat sad story, of that 19th-century matriarch of the Parr family, dear Florence -bless her tender heart.
Autorenporträt
In 2010, the author began passionate research into his ancestry. This followed on from previous work that had been begun by his father nearly 30 years earlier. Eventually, the combined research resulted in 8 books being published. As a collection the author refers to these as 'The Ancestral Chains Series', with each of the 8 books being centred around the life, ancestry and descendants of each of his 8 great-grandparents. The 8 books in the series are: Ancestral Chains (DNA Part I of VIII) Bishop Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part II of VIII) Battersby Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part III of VIII) Allden Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part IV of VIII) Parr Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part V of VIII) Fortune Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VI of VIII) Meers Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VII of VIII) Morgan Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VIII of VIII) Andrew Bloodline. This work is a collective collaboration of the 8 books rolled into one and focuses on 8 relevant stories that attempt to show the connectivity of karma passed down through our ancestral DNA chains.
