Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago

Although I would add that I (finally) refound the Anglo-Irish aristocracy branch on the family tree - it's reeeeally far back so it took me a while to realize I should just come down through the Beauforts rather than try to work my way back, esp. as I couldn't remember which branch it was in - and I'm noticing that there are a whole lot more spouses of very similar ages than ones with large age differences.
