Nancy's Family Many Generations Ago...

In 2005, Leslie researched one of her ancestors, Dr. George de Benneville, eight generations before her. This is a fascinating reconstructed biography of an extremely interesting man who lived 1703-1793 in England, France, Germany, and America -- a time when religion ruled societies and almost all wars and violence were religion-motivated. Dr. de Benneville was an instrumental figure (a "founder") of the Universalist Church, which was organized as a denomination in the 18th century and merged with the Unitarian Church in 1960.

Geneology developed by Leslie de Benneville Miller_Page_7.jpg (1180436 bytes) An ancestry chart developed by Leslie (probably around 2000) showing genealogy back 9 generations. Really interesting, although conspicuously missing detailed info in the appendix/notes about Kristin/Kysa/Kathryn families (but we can update that some day).

This is a PDF of the genealogy printout from Leslie's ancestry program years ago. It is one page of descendant names followed by 5 pages of typed notes on the individuals identified. Some of the notes are difficult to read in the printout, but still intelligible.
