Our website is divided into two sections

                                                



If you are getting multiple images or lines of text are cut off, you may have more success by resetting your monitor resolution. 800 X 600 or 1024 X 768 resolutions seem to work best. . Although it is not necessary to reset your monitor to the proper resolution for these pages,
it will enhance your viewing.  If you are using WINDOWS, your monitor can be reset by clicking on START, then selecting CONTROL PANEL and DISPLAY (you must first minimize your browser).
Also, the use of FULL SCREEN viewing is recommended.

Our website is divided into two sections: Jack's family and Carol's family.  Both sections have separate Family Charts which list family members chronologically, including birth, death, and marriage wherever possible.  Each section also has its own Surname List which allows you to click on a specific surname and go directly to the first or primary appearance of that surname in the various Family Charts.  The Surname List pages include a Pedigree Chart for quick reference. 
Each section also includes a MAPS / HISTORY page that provides links to supplemental family information, such as maps,  photographs, historical data, and interesting stories.

HOW TO READ THE FAMILY CHARTS:  Each family chart includes a "QWIK-TREE" listing that shows direct lineages, followed by a "DETAILED LIST"  that provides additional information regarding the individual family members. Each chart begins with the first male ancestor of that family that has been positively identified. The bold-face number in parentheses refers to the generation number for that individual. The numbers immediately following the generation number identifies the order of birth of the individual in his/her parents  family, if it is known.  For instance, PETER OTT is the first known OTT. His siblings are not known.  The entry for Peter is therefore  (1) 1 PETER OTT.   Peter's grandson, JOACHIM OTT,  is in Generation #3, the fourth child of JOANNES OTT .  His entry is therefore shown as:  

(3) 1.1.4 JOACHIM OTT....etc.  

The children of Joachim will be shown as: (4) 1.1.4.1..., (4) 1.1.4.2..., etc., in the order of their birth.  Names that are capitalized and underlined  indicate that the individual is a direct-line ancestor of Jack or Carol. Individuals  whose names are not capitalized or  underlined are siblings, spouses  of siblings,  or the parents of the siblings' spouses.
