THIS TREE ORCHARD HAS HAD ALL TREES REMOVED AT THE 
 PREFERENCE OF THE OWNER, AND IS IN PROCESS OF BEING 
 REPLANTED.

THE FIRST PLANT/S WERE SOWN ON 01 JUNE 2008.

IF THERE ARE NO (ZERO) OCCURANCES OR INCIDENTS WHICH 
 RENDER REPLANTING NECESSARY, THIS ORCHARD, AND PERHAPS 
 OTHERS LIKE IT, WILL BE GROWING INTO PERPETUITY, 
 PROVIDING THE SWEET AND NUTRITIOUS FRUIT/S OF FAMILY 
 UNITY TO ALL WHOSE FRUITS AND SEEDS ARE GROWING IN THIS 
 PLACE.

As a record of Personal Achievement, and of 
 Milestone Progression, I make note that on Sunday, 
 08 June 2008 at 7 PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time (PDT), 
 my data regarding the families of my wife and myself, 
 reflect the listings of Both my wifes and my own 
 personal direct ancestors all the way back to Our (3rd 
 Great) Great-Great-Great Grandparents, a total thus 
 far of 127 individuals. They do not include people 
 like siblings, aunts and nieces, uncles and nephews, 
 adopted, foster, steps, nor any one outside of direct 
 family ancestors

OUR 3rd-Great-Grandparents...imagine how your 
 Sixth-generation Ancestors lived, in their home 
 countries...between the years 1742 and 1916, a time
 span of about 175 years.

One 4th-Great-Grandfather born 1716, lengthens the 
 above-noted timespan from about 175 years to 200 years.

As of 2 AM PDT monday 09 June 2008, this tree 
 was found to have inter-woven roots with 29 other 
 different trees. This growing configuration was not 
 found to be effective, and approximately 20 root 
 systems were later removed, and transferred
 to vegetation Nursery in an effort to save them.

That effort is still ongoing.

Milestone: On June 16, 2008, there was accumulated 
 data for 144 different individuals...that is Twelve 
 (12) Dozen or in numerical computation, one (1) Gross.

--------------------------------------------------------   

As of Saturday morning, 12 Jul 2008, there were 
 292 individuals, including 127 direct lineal parental 
 ancestors.

We have now crossed the Milestone of 288 
 individuals which equals 24 Dozen individuals, 
 and 2 Gross  in Quantitative Numerics.

-------------------------------------------------------
      There are currently (Tues 05 Aug 2008), 356 
 individuals,(plus Me (357)).

Please feel free to watch for the continued 
 increase in people.

All Direct Parental Ancestors are numbered 
 and color-coded for Identification and clarity of 
 lineage.

Effective on Sunday Date 10 Aug 2008, at 0600 am PDT, 
 progressive work will cease for an undetermined and 
 unspecified period of time. Progressive work will cease, 
 and in it's place remedial, repair, and modifying
 work will begin. A number of siblings have been entered
 into the structure, although they may not have been 
 correctly documented and databased. These will be 
 repaired. Other work of a heretofore unspecified 
 nature will be accomplished. Individual Totals will
 be presented at irregular time intervals.

Following the repair and modification 
 of the current basic structural foundation of this 
 tree orchard and grove, constructional work will 
 recommence, and then the work will continue to get 
 larger with a more solidified historical base.

These 371 individuals include an undetermined number of 
 Listed Last Names, (Surnames), and at present there is the 
 one original tree, with interlocking roots to at least 33 
 other trees, for a total of 34 trees thus far. This Update is 18 Aug 2008

These additional trees, and their root systems, have been 
 preserved, and have been planted, and are included in the 
 growing tree population; they have been carefully transplanted  into my Orchard, being 10 total, with the space of 3 trees 
 between each tree and any other tree, and 3 tree-spaces 
 between each tree and any side of the Orchard fencing or 
 boundary-line.

This allows for additional planting/transplanting when, if,  and as necessary, while allowing for optimum expansion space  and growth rate for each tree.

I welcome you to come by occasionally, and watch my 
 tree orchard grow.
