AncestralFire · Family trees

Famous family trees, told from their records.

Each of these comes from a published family tree, read the way AncestralFire reads yours: one person at a time, then the dates together, where the story is.

• The Kennedy family tree, from Wexford to Dallas. Patrick Kennedy left County Wexford in the famine year of 1847. His great-grandson John was killed in Dallas a hundred and five years to the day after Patrick died.
• Queen Victoria's family tree, from Kew to Windsor. In fourteen months her grandmother, her father and her grandfather George III died around a baby born to be queen, the last two six days apart.
• The Bourbon family tree: Louis XV, king at five. Within four years his grandfather, his mother and his father died, and the great-grandson of Louis XIV became king at five. One date in the file is wrong, and the page says which.
