Common Ancestor Tales

This project focuses on the multitude of families linked to my great grandparents along all their ancestral lines maternal and paternal. Each ancestor has a short biographical sketch, a tree of their extended family, photos, letters, maps and any DNA proof found.

I also write more general tales musing about the stories I find.
For those with access there is a family tree on ancestry.

This is a work in progress…
