At the time this book was written, the youngest person recorded with Alzheimers Disease was 28 years old. Since I learned about Alzheimers with my maternal grandmother suffering from and succumbing to the disease in the 1980s, the ages of Alzheimers patients have been steadily becoming younger and younger. In my mothers memory care unit was an educator who died of early onset Alzheimers at the age of 53. There is a new diagnosis of Alzheimers every 67 seconds and it is estimated that one in every three people in the United States will have Alzheimers by the age of 85. This disease lasts from 2 - 25 years. If this trend continues then every family in this country will be visited by Alzheimers and the affects on caregivers will also affect this nation. This book is both a personal story of a decade-long journey of caregiving as well as a call to arms for funding and research of this terminal disease.

"This book is primarily a genealogy of the third 16th of my family, of the relation and ancestry of my great great grandfather, John (Johann) Fellenz 1833-1896. John's grandfather was Philipp Fellenz 1757-1847, who died in Germany shortly before the arrival in America of his son Peter 1804, daughter Anna Maria Fellenz Feiten 1814, his wife's nephew Mathias Sausen 1812, and their families to the Town of Kewaskum in Washington County, WI, about March 1847. They were later to be joined by all known descendants of Philipp 1757 except for part of the Katherina Fellenz Rinzel family and most of the descendants of Johann Wilhelm Sausen 1763. Philipp's brother-in-law and the above are the core of this book."--Introduction
