The Family Tree

7/2017

At least in Christian culture, families would historically keep the family information in the family Bible.  Information such as dates of births, marriages, deaths and other significant family events.  Those that weren’t Christian would use other methods, such as word of mouth, journals and other filing systems.

Today, one has the option to use the Roy and Ginger Rogers system.

When the wife dies, you skin her and have her stuffed so the tattoos on her back, neck, legs, torso and breasts can be preserved for the names and dates of birth of all her children and husbands, memorials to the loss of significant family members and other information.  This system also allows families to keep life sized replicas of their loved ones close, for the comfort they offer.

Like Roy Rogers and Trigger.

It does get crowded over time though.  Like Qin Shi Huang’s terra cotta warriors.

Well hell, at least the staff thought it was funny.  And most of them have
tattoos.
