The family tree is broken down by the 12 original children of David and Sallie.
Each branch has its own text file and contains information provided by a senior member of that branch.
Since things are forever changing this information is always in the process of being updated.
These files were put together using a family tree software program. The files are in a basic family tree style that makes it easy for you to see the relationship of each family member to that whole branch of the family tree.
To make changes you can right click on the blue link to the file and save to your hard drive. Once you have the file any text or word processing program can be used to make changes directly to the file.
Clinking on the blue link will open the file using your text editing program, usually notepad or word.
When you have finished making your corrections save the file either as plain text or a word document and attach it to an email to me at Webmaster@rboyden.com. I will make the changes upload a new file to the website and email back to you confirmation that a new version of that branch of the family tree is now available for viewing.
Additional information in these text files, at the top of the file, is the family members who provided the original information and the date either when the file was created or last updated changes made.
Initially I expect that there will be a large number of changes and corrections that need to be reported.
If individual family members start sending in a lot of changes I will probably be over loaded by email.
So, I am asking that initially all changes and corrections for each branch be collected by one contact person and try to keep the number of emails from each branch to around 2 or 3.
After the initial period of corrections is over then individual families within the branch can start to keep me up to date on changes.
Missing information
I am still working on getting information from family members related to gaps in the family tree.
However, I need help on locating someone who has contact information for the following:
Lenora branch:
Lenora’s daughter Robina and her 8 children. (Note Pearl Pinedo does not have a phone number for them.)
If you know of someone I can contact send an email with name and phone number.
Head count
Some family members might be interested in this information. We have currently 382 family members in the family tree database. I am sure this number will continue to increase.
