Appendix A--1

ANCESTOR LIST
When I began this project I meant to do short, illustrated biographies of all my blood related
great grandparents, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I soon found that I could
do a better job if I limited my book to the generations of my parents, grandparents, and great
grandparents. Therefore only those underlined will appear in this volume. Since even my
generation is getting on I want them on paper too before the memories dim as have those of my
parents and grandparents. That I must save for a later project. In the boxes below you will
find the cast. I will give their relationship to me. . Your relationship may differ.

[Note that I have starred the names for which I found no biographical data save the date in the
table below. Hence no chapter. I have also included but not underlined the names of the
grandchildren of Edwin and Jane Watkins, Laurits and Marie Larsen.]

of his mother’s name. Laurits Larsen. She married Anton Naderer in 1904, eight
Annie Watkins never married. years after Laurits’ death.

Note on Spelling: I have encountered several ways to

spell some of the names-- at least 6 for McBeath, for
example. Vibbert seems to be the American spelling for
the Danish Wibert. [Two b’s in Vibbert, one in Wibert.]
The Vibberts [Viuberts in French] were refugees from the
French persecution of the Huguenots. Laurits and
Laurine also have variant spellings. There may be
