My family tree after 1500
All images were scanned from privately-owned originals, except the portrait of Christopher O'Bryan II, which appeared in Seven Pines: Its Occupants and
Letters by Camilla Davis Trammell (Dallas: SMU Press) along with many other valuable O'Bryan photos.
Narratives (linked with a heart) are taken from Pathway: A Family History, ® 2001, Michael McGinnis, and may be freely distributed for non-commercial purposes. To find out how these people are related, go to my expanded family tree. Many are included in my four-generation family tree.
