Gathering My Wits

I've gathered a bunch of notes and scribbles that go back to New York in 1961. It's not a big pile but covers a lot of years. What I intend to do is fill in the blanks as viewed from here and now. Other reference material covers some of my ancestral inheritance of DNA from the Oregon Trail. If I believe in past lives it has to do with the passing of DNA from one generation to the next so that I am the reincarnation of those ancestors who crossed the plains in that respect. I inherited nothing else from them.
