What is the purpose of our pain and suffering? What is the meaning of the stories we live? What is the purpose of our pain? What is achieved by our long and troubling dark nights? We are usually caught up in the roles we play, but the dark night of soul allows us to temporarily disengage from the comitragedy of our outer lives to enter a world of introspection and self-evaluation, where we are free to examine the past and consider the future. Perhaps for the first time, we reflect that our lives may have a design and purpose far grander than anything we might have imagined. Ultimately, the dark night of soul offers individuals a method to feel less divided within themselves and from others. It is a paradox that persons become more uniquely themselves while forging a more profound inter-connection to humanity as a whole. Most importantly, the dark night is part of a process that establishes a conscious connection to the heart of God.

Our family inherited a trunk with documents, books, diaries, photos, rings and a pedigree chart, along with the traditionary story that we were the descendants of George Seton, 5th Earl of Winton, who escaped from the Tower of London. We also received the charge that we should prove our lineage to the world and never forget our heritage. In this compilation are original images with accompanying transcriptions of the documents initially collected with the intent of proving the descendancy of George Seton 5th Earl of Winton. They have been scanned, transcribed and indexed. We are thrilled to present this to the world to begin to illuminate the truth of our ancestry.
