(urth) Severian's family tree

[don doggett]

Even if b sharp is correct in his interpretation, Ymar is a more likely  candidate for the shared memory  than Thecla, as his childhood is  definitively established in the citadel.

The passage you refer to is on page 284, chapter XL, of URTH. It is one of
those that can be, evidently, interpreted more than one way.

I  read it this way: "Childhoods" refers to the set of memories Severian
retains. They are, respectively, his own in the Citadel, Thecla's at the
villa, and Appian's in the village.
