FAMILY LINEAGES |

| INTRODUCTION GENEALOGY Homelands HISTORY |
I have frequently been asked to provide descendant charts or family trees to more easily view relationships and for others to help locate common ancestors. Although it is easy to generate such charts with genealogy software it would be impractical to include them all here because of multiple family relationships and the sheer size of my database. It is very easy to navigate through my database but I do realize it can be time consuming and difficult to document and visualize a particular line that one may be following. Therefore, I have decided to include ahnentafel listings of my ancestors and my wife's ancestors. [NOTE: In an ahnentafel listing each individual is numbered (X), that individual's father has a number twice as large (2X) and the mother has a number which is larger by one than her husband's number (2X+1). For example, my ahnentafel listing would start with myself as #1, my father would be #2, and my mother would be #3. My father's father would be #4 and his mother would be #5. My mother's father would be #6 and her mother would be #7. Except for the first individual, each even number is always a male and each odd number is always a female. Working backwards, one can take any even number (say #10,846) and know that his spouse is one number higher (#10,847) and their child is one-half of his number (#5,423). In this example their child's number is odd and we therefore know that the child is female. I hope this NOTE helps those unfamiliar with ahnentafel listings.]
I am also including a few simplified family charts to aid in more easily visualizing our family lineages.
Here are some of my wife's simplified family charts:
Following are family charts showing our connection to some of the historically significant individuals in our database:
And finally a chart showing the Longoria connection to the royal families of Europe. Many of the South Texas families share this royal connection.
