In the second part of the work, the foundations of the project are instantly recognisable, by the typical layout of a family tree. This is mapped out across the wall in Lettreset, fourteen feet in length. The boxes, which you would expect to hold a name, are replaced by short lines of text. These are quotes from other members of the family describing that particular person, thus giving the viewer a clearer understanding of the individual represented. Such as 'Won Opportunity Knocks' or 'Living in sin'.
