I'm the last of my line, sort of. My father had one sister, no
brothers. I only have one sister, who does have two boys but of course
they have a different name. And I have two girls so far. As long as
things remain patrolinear (is that the word?) my last name will die
out.
This actually used to bother me. I don't think it's im****tant any more.
