In 1984 I went to Germany to visit my cousin 11 times removed. He showed us the house that was left when the first member of the family came to the US in 1752. He said, "There's another relative who lives across the street and 5 houses down, but the two sides of the family don't talk to each other anymore."

"Why don't you talk to them," I asked.

"We just don't. Nobody remembers why."
