Introductory Notes:

About the software:

The report you can look at was generated using Reunion for Macintosh 4.0. It is a fantastic genealogy program that enables you to clearly document your genealogy research. I haven't seen anything better. You can contact the publishers at info@leisterpro.com. You can review the software at their web site.

About the Report:

The report is an "Ahnentafel Report" which uses a special numbering system to locate parents. If you take the number and double it, you have found the number for the father. Take the father's number and add one to find the mother or wife. For example, my A# is "1", thus my father's is "2" and my mother's "3". My mother's father (my grandfather) is thus "6" (3 x 2) and his wife is "7" (3 x 2 + 1). Each of the numbers is indexed next to the surname in the Surname list.

About the Research:

There is a lot of information here. I'm including it for fellow researchers. In my research, the initials CR relate to my observations and findings. The initials EC stand for Euginia Campbell, a great-great aunt and relate to her findings. JD stands for Jacob Dillard, whom is a relative, but I don't know what relation! He helped Eugenia with her research.

I have a lot of Eugenia and Jacob's research information. Jacob's information branches out to ancestors I am unrelated to. If anything you find here resembles any of your research, please feel free to contact me via email. I am also interested in any additions or corrections to any of this information.
