	gee, i aint sure on this but i know my family 
history back to 1400 (+/-) and, from what i can tell,
all o them folk had das and mas and kids.  and they
had the same family name all the way--no change.
	what does this mean--there wasnt no families 
afore Victoria?  if y got no family then how do y figger
out who gets gramma's hairnet?
