This chart details the furthest back I have got with each line that makes up my ancestry, in chronological order. Usually with the oldest ancestor there is very little known as they represent the current limit of my research, and often the information may be rather shakey. Please get in touch if you think you could help with anything.

In order to keep some control over this concept I am concentrating on the male ancestor of each line, with the wife noted also. Of course, they are both legitimate ancestors, indeed the wife may be the elder! It is purely for organisation's sake.
