“Genealogy is the rage of the age ... As the only sons of an only son of an only childbearing son, John and had never bothered about investigating our ancestors Call dead' quoth father), until I came upon some surprising grandmotherish papers, and, a year or two ago, began delving. Well, I am happy to report we now have a complete pack of sixteen great-grand-parents, hailing from the highlands of Scotland to the puszta of Hungary ... but to go back further is sometimes a tad difficult. I noticed that many folk on the genealogical sites who haven't succeeded in getting a full-flush of 16 ggs, or a super-slam of of 32 gggs, have shyly fabricated a fake family. So, John, taking a wee break from publishing end-to-end volumes of poetry, decided to have a bit of fun and do the same for us. This family tree doesn't just go back to the factual Black Bull pub in Cloth century Aberdeen, or the equally factual Jewish merchants of Mor, Fejer, it goes back to our maternal great-grandfather 552 times removed, and our paternal great-grandmother 552 times removed, in lands and cultures beyond time, and it follows the fates and frolicks of their descendants rudely through the millennia, as they war and couple and schnort and compete and breed ... oh! How they breed! Well, have to keep the tree ablossoming Until it gets to John Gallas, and to his brother, Kurt Ganzl, who thought this was too goodly a historie to keep as just a family in-joke, and invented the Gerolstein Press, which, 552 generations on, proudly presents THE BLOOD BOOK!"--Back cover.
