ROOTS-L Resources: Historical Names and Families

    Are you connected to Royalty or to Admiral Dewey? The Ball family of Virginia? Maybe George Bush? There are files about these and other historical names in our collection.
  • Royalty! Charlemagne, the Capets, references and GEDCOM.
  • genealog.admdewey: The descent of Admiral George Dewey (from Charlemagne?)
  • genealog.ballgen: The Ball Family of Virginia.
  • genealog.biblegen: A large (55k) file of information on Biblical Genealogies based on Dr. James H. Stallings' book, "Supplement to Stallings Family Records." Patsy Chappelear, who edited the information in this file to clarify presentation and make it more accessible notes that the file does not contain all of the genealogical information from the Bible.
  • Daniel Boone: An ASCII (text) chart showing the connections between Boones, Bryans, and Morgans may be found in genealog.boone1. The file genealog.boones14 contains 255 descendants, in fourteen generations, of George Boone of England, an ancestor of Daniel Boone, in a compact table of names and dates (no places.) And genealog.boonlinc contains an ASCII chart showing the connection between Daniel Boone and President Abraham Lincoln.
  • President George Bush: These two files, genealog.bushged1 and genealog.bushged2, contain a GEDCOM of the ancestors of U. S. President George Bush. After downloading both files, you should strip off their first and last line, concatenate them, and read them as input into a genealogy program that supports GEDCOM. See also the data on Bush in Brian Tompsett's U.S. Presidential genealogy database.
  • genealog.clinton1: A GEDCOM of the ancestors of U. S. President Bill Clinton. See also the data on Clinton in Brian Tompsett's U.S. Presidential genealogy database.
  • genealog.courtois: Twelve generations of the Courtois family of Quebec, starting with Antoine Courtois and Esther LeBrun.
  • genealog.dentonj1: John Denton, Patriot and Pioneer, by David W. Templin. A biography of John Denton, son of Abraham Denton and Mourning Hogg, who was born in 1759 in Dunsmore County, Virginia.
  • STEWART - HAMILTON - MANESS Family History: In three files, 49 generations of descendents from Fergus Mor MacEarca. For each of the following surnames, ten or more individuals are included: Calhoun, Castlen, Hamilton, Maness, Thompson. The first part, genealog.ferg1-3, covers the first through the beginning of the 40th genearation. The second part, genealog.ferg2-3, continues through the beginning of the 49th generation. The third and final part, genealog.ferg3-3, completes the 49th generation and includes a listing of everyone named in the three files.
  • genealog.laws1: A small (15k) file of the descendants of John and Betsy Laws, c 1750, of Knox County, Kentucky.
  • genealog.lincoln2: A GEDCOM file of the ancestors of U. S. President Abraham Lincoln. See also the data on Lincoln in Brian Tompsett's U.S. Presidential genealogy database.
  • genealog.preswife: A list of the wives of the U.S. Presidents (though Reagan) and their lifespans.
  • The Descendents of Johne McRannald and Catherine McIlstalker: An index to the descendants of Johne McRannald and McIlstalker, from the mid-1600s. This looks like a report generated from PAF. The first of nine files, genealog.reyn1-9, covers wives whose surnames aren't known, and continues from Jean Abarr through Belilah A. Davis. The second file, genealog.reyn2-9, goes from Cora L. Davis to Elizabeth Hill. The third file, genealog.reyn3-9, covers George Hill to a nameless McReynolds. The fourth file, genealog.reyn4-9, continues with more nameless McReynoldses and ends at Howard Nelson McReynolds. In the fifth file, genealog.reyn5-9, are Hugh McReynolds through Mary "Polly" McReynolds. The sixth file, genealog.reyn6-9, begins with Mary A. McReynolds and ends with Wanda Louise McReynolds. (Prolific, these McReynoldses.) In the seventh file, genealog.reyn7-9, we find the names Ward McReynolds to William Rogers. The eighth file, genealog.reyn8-9, drops back to Harry Preston and continues on through Salinda S. Sweatt. The ninth and final file, genealog.reyn9-9, goes from a nameless Sweet to Richard Zimmerman.
  • genealog.warren: A GEDCOM file covering Richard Warren of the Mayflower, his wife, their children, grandchildren, and grandchildren's spouses, based on "Families of the Pilgrims - Richard Warren", published in 1986 by the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendents.
