This tree is
provided to family historians without prejudice. I have constructed most of my
family trees using the data I have available, and in a few cases, it is estimated
as the best fit from available choices.
In this tree, several of the links are yet to be proved, so any help
that you can give to confirm any line would be appreciated by me and others
searching in this family. More modern families also need your inputs, because
as I can link modern families to each other, and thus it enables a focus on
their common ancestry. The memories of one branch may not be complete but yet may fill in gaps of another branch. Only by a
concerted effort can we really define the true lineage. Help me to help you by
sharing what you have. I have included the contributor's email addresses within
the file.
My thanks to you
all. Ken STEWART < kjstew@iinet.net.au > 2020.
