The family tree so far is here. It was last updated in August 2009.

I also have pages devoted to pictures of unknown relatives (paternal side) page #1 #2; there are also photos of ancestors and relatives on my cousins' websites; these pages are listed in the "links" section.

Most, but not all, of the information in my tree comes from looking at photo or microfilm copies of actual documents like census or church records.  I am working on attaching the citations from my files to every piece of information in the database. Any data issues will be corrected faster if you bring them to my attention!

Most of the data on this website refers to people who lived in:

United States: New York City and Detroit
Canada: Ontario: Huron County, Hastings County, Lennox and Addington County, Rainy River District; Nova Scotia (Cape Breton Island [Inverness County, Cape Breton County]) and Newfoundland (the Irish of St. John's & environs)

England: mainly in Lancashire (vicinity of Bury parish: Tottington, Holcombe), Durham (vicinity of Sunderland, Monkwearmouth, Bishopwearmouth, Penshaw, Washington, Houghton le Spring, Chester-le-Street parishes) and Northumberland (Newcastle, Tynemouth, also Allendale, Ninebanks parishes)

Ireland: Dublin City or County Antrim

Sweden: Hedemora, Kopparberg (a.k.a. Dalarna) and surrounding parishes in the vicinity of the district known as Bergslagen including Gustafs, Stora Tuna, Norrbärke, Söderbärke, Grangärde, and Norberg in Västmanland. Also, Östra Ryd in Östergötland and surrounding parishes, including Björsäter, Yxnerum, Västra Husby, Värna, and also Gärserum in Kalmar (Småland).
