Grace Rokeby

written in a record this archive has read from the family tree, untested above a graft this archive rejects

None of the 5 relationships shown here is written in a record this archive has read. Every one comes from the family tree. That is not a claim that they are wrong — it is a statement about what has been checked, and on this site the difference is the point. How claims are labelled →

5 of these links sit above a graft. The archive has tested the join they hang from and rejected it — the D'Arcys of Hornby Castle are unevidenced, the Sneyds of Keele Hall disproved. The people are drawn because the tree carries them, and struck through because nothing attaches them to this family. Both grafts, in full →
