For some reference for our posts, here is a very simple pedigree tree. The pedigree tree is used to show a direct line of ancestry.
This pedigree tree is specifically written for all the children of Eshcol Leroy, giving them 5 generations of ancestry through their father.
You can use it for yourself if you know anyone in common. If you know your father or grandfather was a sibling to one of these relatives, everything down (earlier) would be your direct line as well. i.e. Alexander from Staples is a brother to Edward James so John, William, and James are also your pedigree. If Alexander from Staples is your grandfather the list on the right would also be correct as this pedigree shows Edward James as a grandfather. If Alexander is your great-grandfather, then move the last list up a notch. You will end up with James McGillivray as your GGGG (4X) Grandfather.
We know it is confusing but we will be posting more pedigrees and some small sections of trees for your use also, as time allows.
