The file has been converted from the original WordStar format to HTML, and indexed, thanks to John Chandler. This file started as four pieces concatenated into one large file, but the loading time proved to be too long under some conditions. It has now been split into hundreds of small "pages", some as short as a few lines of text and some considerably longer. In the main part of the file, and in the appendices, each "page" consists of the concatenated family groups of one or more siblings. The reference list is broken into "pages" in groups of related sources. The index has one "page" for each initial letter. With this organization, it is not possible to scroll or search globally for a specific text string: navigation through the index is necessary. The simplest way to reach the index is to backtrack from wherever you have gone in the file, but it is also possible to follow the father links up to the top of the file (or the top of an appendix) and jump from there to the index.

GEORGE BLANCHARD & DESCENDANTS

[son of Thomas & Elizabeth Blanchet/Blanchard]

FOREWORD:
  1. This file consists of extensive, but obviously incomplete, data on George Blanchard & descendants -- in some cases through ten generations of those bearing the surname -- plus 13 appendices containing miscellaneous data on a number of families who might prove to belong to this line. The references are included at the end.
  2. Data are presented in a time-line format rather than narrative because the original intention was to prove or disprove claims made in early family or county histories, etc. by a study of census, deed & probate records which supplement data provided by various regional printed vital records. Data from deeds & probates are included where they place a family in a specific locality or it seems some of the other persons mentioned might conceivably be related one way or another...
  3. Records studied to-date have helped sort out individuals bearing the same names; however, many of these remain to be checked and should be easily available to family historians. Whenever possible a "?" or "Theory" is added to data which are suggestive but not proved at this time. In addition, suggestions are sometimes included as to where further data may be discovered.
  4. The numbers assigned to individuals are based on generations & their placement within a list of siblings as they were identified [not always chronological]. In this file, George's descendants are preceded by "TG" [T = Thomas & G = George]. The "numbers" are in groups of 3 separated by a hyphen for easy "tracking"...
  5. Some lineages not yet firmly connected are nonetheless included in the appendices. Some of these have tentative numbers assigned according to the above scheme, and some have numbers beginning with "Z0" (indicating a higher uncertainty about the possible connection).
  6. All documented additions to these families will be most welcome...
