I like to start with the big picture when I'm not familiar with something ‒ it helps me orient myself. In genealogy, a pedigree chart provides the big picture of a family because it traces the lineage of an individual (home person) to parents, grandparents, and back through generations of great-grandparents. These are the home person's direct-line ancestors.
— FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND THE PEDIGREE CHARTS —
The chart above shows the first few generations of the combined Howell-Richards families.
The tabs below the blog header correspond to the names in the last column on the chart above - Howell-Ringo, Foltz-Scott, Richards-McCormick, and Hamilton-McVicker. The number to the right of each great-grandparent is the page number where that line is continued.
— RELATIONSHIPS —
Philip Howell is the home person in the Howell-Richards Family Tree. Any relationships mentioned in the posts refer to the relationship between him and an ancestor.
- To determine your relationship to a given ancestor in the tree you can
- start with your relationship to Philip and go from there, or
- you can contact me via email: jody.bradish@gmail.com. I'll be glad to help.
Ancestors that are Philip's uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, or nephews will have a small chart included at the end of the post that shows how they are related to how.
