The Mirabito Family Tree came about because of a pocket sized book that I bought back 
in the early 1970's. The title of that book was.... How to trace your family tree.
I no longer have the book but I can still remember what was written on the first page.

ANCESTORS LONG DEAD AND FORGOTTEN WILL ARISE TO BEFRIEND ME.
TO RESCUE FROM OBLIVION ONE'S FOREBEARS AND TO REVIVE THEIR MEMORIES
CANNOT BUT GIVE SATISFACTION.
