The Love Line

Since genealogy research can be overwhelming, we had to ask ourselves where to begin? Typically, genealogists take their parents' information and work backwards from there. The result is a pedigree chart.

AuntieC and I decided to post the pedigree chart for the LOVE line first. We discovered exciting information about our colonial ancestors and want to share it. To save our sanity, we decided to start with the men, then return to their wives, providing separate pedigrees for each branch. Sometimes, it's more difficult to find information on colonial women since they weren't listed in the early census reports and weren't included with their husbands on tax documents.

I decided not to give the full list of children for each individual at this time, but we will include that information in separate blog posts. We're going to begin with Alexander's story and all of the questions that we still haven't resolved. AuntieC uncovered some interesting documents about his life in colonial Pennsylvania, so stay tuned!
