Our Tree of Life
Life is an Adventure
- Embrace it!
This website is about my sharing with you my Family History, adventures, ideas, and life experiences. I look to
the past through Family History, dream of the future through Science Fiction, and continue to explore the
world through travel.
I have always considered life to be an adventure. The world was meant to explore. We should be open to
new ideas and opinions and strive to learn something new every day.
Our ancestors are important. They shaped the world in which we live and made us who we are. Traveling the
world, I have met many people with different backgrounds and different beliefs, often shaped by their ancestors.
I view people with different backgrounds and ideas as an opportunity to learn.
To understand and appreciate others I must first understand who I am and where my ideas, past and present, came from.
I need to know my Family History. I have and continue to reserach my Family History and have discovered some amazing
ancestors. These adventures I share with you through the Family History section of this site and my published
book on my ancestors,
I love to explore the world and have traveled and continue to travel the world. I share a small portion of these
adventures with you through travelogues posted on this site. I will continue to add travelouges of past and
future adventures as time permits.
I love science and engineering, and built a successful career on it. I continue to to learn and am
amazed by the ongoing developments around the world in all fields of science. Studying science leads to dreaming
about posible future discoveries and developments, and a love of Science Fiction. I always wanted to write a Science
Fiction trilogy, and through that share some of my ideas about the future and reflections on the world we live in.
When I first retired I wrote and published the Galaxy Keeper Science Fiction Trilogy. It has received great
reviews fromt readers. The Science Fiction portion of this site describes this work and provides some additional
background not found elsewhere.
I will continue to add to this site as I am able to do do. If you have any comments, corrections, additional
information, or ideas to share with me, please email me at alfordpublishing@gmail.com,
