Our line, drawn
The direct line as a chart: four generations above Kenneth Lindsay D'Arcy, with every place the line stops marked and the reason given.
The spine tells this line as prose, one
generation at a time. This is the same line as a picture, which is a different thing to
read: prose can carry a generation's story, but only a chart shows you at a glance how
quickly the branches run out.
They run out fast. Of the 31 people drawn here,
19 sit on a record this archive has read; the rest are the family
tree's word, drawn in a lighter colour and not yet tested. 9 branches
end because nobody knows who comes next.
Another 7 do not end at all — the chart cuts them
to stay readable, and each says how much is behind it. One runs seventeen generations
further back. That depth is the tree's claim, not this archive's finding, and the further
up it goes the less of it has been read.
