Joseph Boyden is still being vague and evasive about where and when First Nations people enter his family tree. He speaks of whispers and painful memories. But that's just a literary gimmick. Either someone was native or not. And either adultery was involved or not. And the point of entry must be known or those highly unreliable DNA tests are useless. I mean, does he know who is on his tree or not? He's often hinted about his Uncle Erl, but Erl didn't have any children. His father's first wife is a bit of a mystery, but she wasn't Joseph's mother. I love a family tree. There may be the odd mystery or scandal, but one can usually put a name to all the twists and turns.
