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.]

Note: We know of one child for Alexander William Watkins, but we know only his name: Terry. We guess that he was born in the 1930s but are not sure of his mother’s name. Annie Watkins never married. 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
_______________ Note: Johanna Marie (Vibbert) Larsen bore five children with Laurits Larsen. She married Anton Naderer in 1904, eight years after Laurits’ death.
