We stretch out our branches and touch many other trees in our lifetime. In the far future it is not unfathomable to see the branches connecting to form one world tree. But did you realize that the roots of a tree go deeper than it's branches. We could all be connected in one manner or form already. It just takes time and a lot of digging to unearth those roots and see just how they entwine themselves.
I started a new site dedicated to doing just that in the little section of our two trees--The Dements and The Claypools. From here it is an intricate labyrinth we are trying to unwind. It is rather hard to decipher who should be a branch, a trunk, or a root when each of us can be interchanged with a flip of a page. So, take this as a working document that it is, and use it any way you can in your own personal research. Please check out our family tree at:

and see how it all interconnects. One day, I hope to put it all into a book and give it to our son.
