We show that the historical Brownian motion may be recovered from ordinary super-Brownian motion when the dimension $d$ of the underlying Brownian motion is greater than 4. We outline a proof showing that this conclusion is false if $d \leq 3$. The state of affairs in the critical dimension $d = 4$ is left unresolved. Some extensions are given for $1 + \beta$ stable branching mechanisms where $\beta \in (0, 1\rbrack$.
