My mother, whom I love dearly, has continually revised my life story within the context of a complicated family history that includes more than the usual share of divorce, step-children, dysfunction, and obfuscation.

I wish I could have 25,000 years of my personal family history documented in a very powerful computer or a CD-ROM that I could just pop in and my computer would never crash. Brendan Fraser
The book begins and ends with the visits to give the impression of a tunnel into their ancestors and family history. I believe in going backwards into the past - I felt I was digging a tunnel back to the past. Anita Desai
I don't know much about my family history except that my father had straight black hair and his ancestors probably came from India. Trevor McDonald
Rue McClanahan quote: "I almost fainted. There was no family history. I had been..."

Doug Coupland quote: "It's very strange that most people don't care if their..."
It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations. Doug Coupland
Deconstructing the concept of race not only conflicts with people's tendency to classify and build family histories according to common descent but also ignores the work of biologists studying non-human species. J. Philippe Rushton
Julie Andrews quote: "My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my..."
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself. Julie Andrews
