Tracing the family tree, most humans have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great - great - grandparents, 32 great - great - greats, 64 greats x4, 128 greats x5, 256 greats x6, 512 greats x7, and so on and so forth.
Above, you see only three of my Grandfather Paul Lindsey's eight great - grandparents. That would be a mere three of my thirty - two great - great - great grandparents. But these are the only photos I have going that far back. I picked them as a starting point for fulfilling a couple of requests from my elder son Ben: to arrange a collection of old family photographs and to compile all of my blogposts featuring the various ancestors.

There's no vocabulary for love within a family,
love that's lived in but not looked at,
love within the light of which all else is seen,
the love within which all other love finds speech.
This love is silent." ~ T. S. Eliot
