    Genealogos

    The  Whole  FamDamily  Tree

    Explanatory Notes:

    • Bullet denotes each (usually direct) ancestor as I climb up the tree generation by generation. Each person (with brothers and sisters if known) is listed like this:
    • Name and names are children of Name and Name.
    • Women are listed by birth names with their husbands' [last] names added in [square] brackets.
           HyperLinks (usually underlined) jump back and forward in time to the parents or the children and also into parallel documents (like those listed here on the right) and family stories.
           Each ancestor is paired with her or his mate. Without sex there would be no genealogy.
           In this list women come first before husbands; and direct ancestors (of either sex) come first before sisters and brothers.
           This is a work in process--the web can always be revised. Please write me with corrections or additions or new family connections.
           In the interests of privacy and security I shall not give much information about living or recent relatives except to invent the self.
