Limited biographies of my 3x Great Grandparents being written. Due to potential copyright restrictions these will be mainly details based with sources noted rather than include images in most cases. They are also being done in different styles currently as still trying to get used to WordPress so thought this was one way of testing out the capabilities of it for display purposes.

In order to improve ease of tracking connections on my personal family tree I have attributed ancestral lines to different groups at 2x Great Grandparent level. It is particularly useful when working with DNA matches to use the following notations as these help see which lines they connect on according to research even if not necessarily the DNA being shared via these routes.

Therefore, when looking at 3x Great Grandparents couples they have the same identifier (P for Paternal or M for Maternal and numbers from 1 to 8) and so do any ancestors of them in my cataloguing offline.
