Blood relatives
Choose a person and they go to the middle of the chart: parents above, brothers and sisters beside them, children below — and through them the aunts, uncles and cousins. Every line carries the colour of what joins the two people, and for most of them that is the family tree and nothing further: 117 of the 836 parent-and-child links here — 14% — have been proved by a record this archive has read. The rest are Michael Mazza's research, drawn as given and marked as unproved.
This archive has always said, in words, how well each claim is known. This page says it in a picture. A solid line means a register was read and it names the relationship; a lighter line means an index says so; a dashed line means the family tree asserts it and nothing has been read that confirms it — and those are the ones worth your suspicion, because they are the ones that have been wrong before.
628 of the 707 people this archive can name are joined to at least one other by a link it can show you. They fall into 12 families of three or more; the largest holds 580. The rest stand alone — not because they are unrelated, but because the record that would join them has not been read.
Nobody of that name is drawn here. If you were looking for someone alive, that is the point rather than a fault: the living are named and nothing more across this estate, and only where a record has placed them.

What the lines are made of
Every link on this page, counted by the kind of record behind it.
| How the link was made | Links | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Read | 210 | a baptism, marriage or burial act was read and it names the relationship. |
| Index | 24 | an index gives the relationship; the act behind it has not been opened. |
| Direct line | 0 | carried on the archive's own spine, where the joins are argued page by page. |
| Tree | 2590 | the family tree asserts it and no record has been read. Drawn dashed. |
