Or, Subtitled: A Family History Full of Twists, Turns, and Confusion

When I began Begats and Bequeathals back in January 2018, I stated that my goal here would be to share some 40+ years of research on my family lines, in the hope of providing accurate documentation to anyone who might be researching these families and looking for good documentation and not the junk genealogy too often found in various places. My initial posting also says that I wouldn’t be following any logical plan in choosing a particular family line to work on at any given time, but would be skipping from line to line.
