My Ancestors

 

Listed below are the ancestors and family members I have written about on this blog.  The list has four sections – Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Direct Line Ancestors, and Other Family Members.  All individuals are listed in alphabetical order by surname.  Women are listed by maiden surname.  If the individual is my current end of line person or brick wall (bummer!), their name is italicized and bright blue.  All ancestors who were an end of line person when I started this blog, but are no longer a brick wall, have this next to their name – 🎉, because that is something to celebrate!  Family members from my maternal side have a pink double heart 💕 before their name and family members from my paternal side have a blue heart 💙 before their name.  Family members on my husband’s paternal side have a purple heart 💜 before their name and family members from his maternal side have a green heart 💚 before their name.
