520    Family history begins with missing persons,y Alison Light 
       writes in Common People. We wonder about those we've lost,
       and those we never knew, about the long skein that led to 
       us, and to here, and to now. So we start exploring. What 
       she did for the servants of Bloomsbury in her celebrated 
       Mrs. Woolf and the Servants Light does here for her own 
       ancestors, and, by extension, everyones: draws their 
       experiences from the shadows of the past and helps us 
       understand their lives, estranged from us by time yet 
       inextricably interwoven with our own. Family history, in 
       her hands, becomes a new kind of public history.
