Need an overview of how the families fit together? The Navigation Chart shows an overview of the connections of the surnames.
Where do I start?
You can choose to read biographies, view photos, read genealogy reports, and more. Use the secondary menu shown above to move to the page that you desire to view. Then, click the link of the information that you would like to view. Alternately, you can begin reading the biographies by navigating to the next slide using the links (i.e. Read Next) at the top and bottom of this content.
How are the biographies organized?
The biographies are organized with the main surname of the family group first followed by the other surnames in alphabetical order. The biography menu, however, specifies all surnames in alphabetical order with the specific individuals for each surname listed earliest to most recent.
Notation
The following notation is used on the biography pages.
♥ This indicates that the person listed is a direct ancestor. They will have a separate entry with more detailed information.
♦Verified This indicates that records exist showing this ancestor is in our direct line.
♦Evidence This indicates that there is significant evidence, including circumstantial evidence, that the ancestor is in our direct line. However, a specific record has not been found showing they are the parent of the closer generation.
♦DNA This indicates that members of the family have DNA matches known/claimed to be related to the person through a different family line. For instance, Lemuel McCracken would be marked with DNA because descendants of his children Lawrence, Andrew, William T., and Henry show up in results as DNA matches.
Unverified This person is claimed to be a direct ancestor, but not enough evidence has been collected to mark the person as such and DNA evidence has yet to be discovered.
