Timelines will have dates in history and events that possibly had a dramatic effect on some of my or Jill's ancestors. Much of what is under this section is and will be extracted from my writings, "The Immigrant", "The Patriot" and "The Believers" - ones from my four legged stool. These writings are anchored in history, tempered with plausibility with doses of imagination from a writer with a few drops of his ancestors' blood in his veins. I do not let my imagination roam too far past what I know is true, it too has conscience and respect for the past.

"Verisimilitude? You might want to print it out in bold Magic Marker and put it right on the wall above your desk where you'll see it every time you look up from the keyboard:VERISIMILITUDE: The appearance or semblance of truth.".
