    Great article.

    I wonder what the father was thinking in terms of his children getting married and having children of their own?

    By the sounds of things there was a very religious aspect to all this so maybe the marriage bit was not so important. The survival aspect took priority when literally running for their lives.

    It was unfortunate to hear of their demise so soon after being found. Strange that one of them still survived when the deaths were put down to diet. Surely they were all eating the same, seems odd that one was ok when they all would have been eating the same foods.

    We owe the debt of our blood to our ancestors and our skills to their perserverance.
