Our Family / Meghan’s ancestors
Every branch
begins with a life.
Begin with Roy, Mary, Frank, or Regina and explore successive generations of family history. The first five generations contain all 31 names in the inherited tree; for the sixth, 20 of 32 ancestral positions are displayed while twelve remain open. Some branches extend farther through the Read and Brock generations. Dashed lines distinguish links requiring further verification.
This is a privacy-filtered working family tree, not an import of the private RootsMagic database. Names and relationships include original-record evidence and provisional family-record links; some dates, places and identities still need a second research pass.

Follow a family line.
Choose a grandparent, expand earlier generations, or search a familiar name. Select a card to focus on its ancestors. Empty branches are deliberately left open for further research.
Scroll sideways on smaller screens. Solid lines follow documented or reviewed family links; dashed lines show inherited or conflicting relationships that still need checking. Pale cards identify missing sixth-generation ancestors or earlier relationships withheld pending a credible match.
Search the currently published historical people, including those outside your selected branch.
These are selected historical ancestors, not everyone in Meghan’s private family tree. Missing people or dates mean research or publication review is ongoing; they do not imply a family member never existed. Read the corresponding story to examine records and unresolved questions.
02 / Geographic connections
Where the records lead.
These are places named in reviewed family stories—not percentages of ancestry or a claim that every branch began here. As more records are verified, the map of our lives will grow.
Locations can reflect birth, residence, migration or a historical record; they are not interchangeable. Unknown origins remain unknown and are not reassigned based on surnames.
03 / Lives in historical time
Moments that survived.
A few dates and documents connect people to a particular place and time. The chronology shares the same family filter as the places above; missing periods are opportunities for research, not proof that nothing happened.
Each event links to its published family history and evidence notes. Reported or probable events are identified, and no original private scans are exposed.
