Total ancestors fully or partially identified: 72
This directory comprises all ancestors identified through lineage research. The biographical data in each profile is what can be inferred from available historical documentation and personal accounts about their lives.
Since paternal lineage is the one we are trying to track, this registry begins with Dad as the reference point:
Dad → Parents → Grandparents → Great Grandparents → etc.
Relationship depth is measured through generational distance, not calendar time. In practical terms, this means that an ancestor is classified as “5x great” because they are five parent-child links away from the reference person. The designation reflects how a person is related, not when they lived. As a result, ancestors at the same generational level may belong to very different historical periods.
Each individual listed here represents a necessary link in a biological chain. This lineage continues only because each of these people existed, survived, and had a child who continued the line.
