The D'Arcy Archive
544 ancestors, joined by the numbering itself

Blood relatives

Choose a person and the chart is built around them. These links come out of the ahnentafel — the father of number n is number 2n — so not one of them rests on two people sharing a name.

This archive has always said, in words, how well each claim is known. This page says it in a picture. A solid line means a register was read and it names the relationship; a lighter line means an index says so; a dashed line means the family tree asserts it and nothing has been read that confirms it — and those are the ones worth your suspicion, because they are the ones that have been wrong before.

544 of the 242 people this archive can name are joined to at least one other by a link it can show you. They fall into 3 families of three or more; the largest holds 494. The rest stand alone — not because they are unrelated, but because the record that would join them has not been read.

What the lines are made of

Every link on this page, counted by the kind of record behind it.

How the link was madeLinksWhat it means
Read0a baptism, marriage or burial act was read and it names the relationship.
Index0an index gives the relationship; the act behind it has not been opened.
Direct line1682carried on the archive's own spine, where the joins are argued page by page.
Tree0the family tree asserts it and no record has been read. Drawn dashed.

1 living person is left out of this chart. This archive does not publish the living except where it has decided to name somebody on purpose — those few are listed with a reason and a date each — and anybody named here carries a name and nothing else: no date, no place, no page.
