Ancestry Document on the Internet [Kyran Pittman]
"The paper trail for the Pittmans is much shorter. My great-grandparents. Martin
and Lizzie, died young, and their orphan children left Merasheen lsland for
Boston. Only my grandfather returned as an adult, to marry my grandmother
Mary Leonard, and have eight children. My great-grandparents' death was a
catastrophe, but it was the kind of catastrophe that Malcolm Gladwell talks about
in Outliers, that alters the arc of the narrative for future generations, arguably for
the better. Because of it, my grandfather was educated in Boston and became the
very epitome of a 20th century man. He and his siblings jurnped the track and
moved from subsistence living to the modern middle class. But roots were
snapped off in that seismic shift. I have no record of who his grandparents were
or where the Pittmans of Merasheen Island came from."
