Mil ions of people check their family history online, so the site was easy

to use. I quickly fol owed the trail, found that Hester Lee married John Turner on the 28th June 1925. The marriage certificate was signed on the bride's side by her aunt, Alice Harper. Her mother was listed as Marie Lee

(deceased), her father as Hunter Lee, rancher, also deceased.

This should have been enough. It was official and beyond doubt - Hester was Hunter's daughter. And it made me wonder, had the overlord done this already? Surely, with his superpowers, he would have been able to check the certificate himself.

But then I thought, why not find out more? Staring at the names on screen, it was an itch that had to be scratched. I tapped more keys and found

that Hester and John had a daughter, Alice Marie, born 5th January 1927.

Alice Marie Turner, an only child, married Wesley Ashton in August 1949. They had two children - Torn, born 15th June 1950 and Jane, born 2nd March 1952. Jane Ashton, aged eighteen and unmarried, gave birth in September 1970 to a baby girl cal ed Laura. Jane died in childbirth.

I sat for an age, staring at the screen.

I wasn't focusing on a poor, lonely, castout kid cal ed Jane who died giving life. No - Ashton is my mother's birth-family name. Work it out careful y with me, go back through the generations. I am Marie and Hunter Lee's great-great-great granddaughter.

I sat at my computer and let day turn to night. I don't know how many times I checked the information and stil came out with the same result.

How could I not? I always knew my mother's mother died giving birth to her. She was reared by her adoptive parents, Tom and Lucil e Bunton. No one talked to her about her teenaged mother's pregnancy and death.
