Ancestors of Alan Edward Mann

This web page provides basic information about my ancestors. Details on living persons have been removed.

Please NOTE: I have not taken the time to check all of the data on these pages. There are mistakes. There are undocumented, unchecked data that I received from relatives. Some errors were introduced by transferring data from one program to another—including notes and sources attributed to the wrong person.

The ancestry report uses 'Ahnentafel' numbering. This means that the numbers for a person's parents will be twice as large as that person's number. For example, if a woman's number is 15, her father will be number 30, and her mother will be 31. Her child will be number 7.
