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.

Under Musings are more general posts about what was found, connections made and the research journey. Hope you enjoy the tales told. Feedback, additions, corrections are very welcomed. The About pages gives a little more background.

For those with access there is a family tree on ancestry. For those without I can invite you to view without a subscription if you send an email address.

This is a work in progress…
