| Introduction | Several decades ago, Christopher Brooks, a 40-something professional writer and former academic, set out to work up a family history — expecting to write a few letters, telephone a few relatives dimly remembered from childhood, and invest a few weeks' time, some stamps, and a bit of patience. One thing led to another. The eventual result, a collaborative research project known as Tributaries, today links hundreds of researchers around the world who share research, probe the scientific frontier of DNA testing, and form the spokes of a state-of-the-art internet nexus to document the early Brooks families of New England down to present-day descendants. |
