Family Tree

I've never really been tight with my family. My mom tossed my dad out of the house when I was about six years old, my sister is a diagnosed schiozophrenic who was contantly attacking me when I was a kid, my mom was a hopeless drunk, my grandmother and aunt on my mom's side were both marrried to guys I couldn't stand, my mother's brother moved out of province, and my cousin was a hopelessly naive little christian girl. No contact with my dad's side was ever allowed by my mom, so they were never so much as namees to me.

As I grew up, though, I eventually came back into contact with my dad, my mom got a handle on her drinking, my aunt and grandmother left their husbands and my cousin forsook christianity in favour of wicca. I learned I had two brothers, one of whom I met, and who has two daughters. I moved from Ontario to Vancouver to live with my dad, and I've begun talking to some more remote relatives.

So anyways. With all of this has come an increased interest in my extended family, and with increased interest comes bizarre levels of exertion. In this case, a pictoral family tree.

On the main pages, I'm only going to be showing blood relatives of mine. No offense to those who've married into the family tree, but there's just not enough space to show everyone. Where I can, I'll include pictures of those who I'm related to by marriage in individual pages devoted to my specific relatives. For example, my Aunt Allison married a fellow named Peter Smith, and together, they produced my cousin Jennifer. If I get a picture of Peter, I'll put it in pages devoted to Allison and Jennifer. Dig? Good.
