Note 1 – The above couple are my only ancestors of that generation to arrive in Australia
Note 2 – Knowledge of some of my lines extend back further, especially on the Kenny line.
Note 3 – The number 1 signifies a male, number 2 signifies a female. Therefore the number 11111 means a succession of males, while the number 22222 means a succession of females. While a combination, such as 12121 means a line made up of males and females with the full number allocated to a male as the last number is a 1.
