Genealogy

2,019 of the 3,009 people in this bundle have a recorded parent, child, sibling or spouse. They fall into 337 separate families — one of which holds 1,025 people, and most of which hold three or four.

Where to start

Each family is entered at the head of its longest line — the earliest person in it with no recorded parent. Every name inside a tree links to that person’s own view, so following a family is just following links.

What this data is, and is not

  • There are no dates. No birth year, no death year, nothing to build a lifespan chart from. The corpus records a birthplace and a place of death, and those are on the person pages, but the trees have generations rather than years and no amount of arranging changes that.
  • 990 people have no recorded family at all. Their pages carry no tree. That is a gap in the source, not in the reading — Scripture names a great many people once and says nothing of their parents.
  • Ancestry is not parentage. The source separately records ancestor and descendant claims that skip generations. Those appear in the Ancestry section of a person page and are deliberately kept out of the trees, where they would draw a great-grandparent as a parent.
  • Some relationships are inferred by the source rather than stated by the text. The family lists on each person page mark which; the trees do not draw the distinction, so the lists remain the record.
