Continuum

• Genealogy – Genealogical research on the two sides of my family, and of my wife's family.  Thanks to the magic of genetic genealogy, it turns out that on my mother's side I am descended from Robert III, King of Scots, and on my father's side in a straight male line from Alexander Stewart, Fourth High Steward of Scotland.  Hence the coat of arms at the top of this page.
