This has been a time consuming task and
promises to keep me busy for a while yet.
 
I have shown the hyperlinked Ancestor Trees of each of my parents.
These offer an overview and structure on which to organize the details.
I have placed hyperlinked Descendant Reports which list the offspring.
 
Many of my family members have not yet given approval to placing this info online,
so most info about living generations is not posted.
Some other blanks remain to be filled.
Some information is the best of several conflicting sources.
This keeps the search interesting.
 
I try to document every fact that I collect, however, this is difficult.
Paper documentation was not always available.
Many of my family lines remain a mystery when reaching into the Indian heritage.
Also, I must thank many others for their contributions
 
It is a large and proud family I share with you today.
 The charts are not large enough to show all generations.
Try find the missing links. Enjoy the hyper links.
 
Browse my Mother's Ancestors, the Demerais family.
 

 
Browse my Father's Ancestors, the Ballendine family.
 
Some stories are worth sharing here.
