Exploring Our Ancestral History (Volume II)
Welcome to the digital home of the ancestral research originally gathered for Volume II of the Russell King Homer Ancestral History book. While that physical book was never published, this section of our website brings its rich data to life.
Because family history can be explored in different ways, we have broken this research into two distinct pages. Whether you want to trace a direct line straight back into the past or see the exact communities our family built across the globe, choose the layout below that best fits your journey.
Option 1: The Original Ascending List
- What it is: A preservation of the original preview intended for the 1976 family history book, updated with modern record corrections.
- How it helps: This page uses a traditional, numbered Ascending Genealogy format. It is designed for those who want to trace direct parental lines step-by-step backward in time, starting with Russell King Homer and Eliza Williamson.
- Best for: Readers who enjoy traditional family tree structures, cross-referencing family lines, and viewing the foundational research as it was originally designed.

Option 2: The Reorganized Geographic Timeline
- What it is: A completely redesigned layout that groups our ancestors by where they lived and when they married.
- How it helps: By sorting ancestors by geographic location and chronologically by their marriage dates, this layout keeps couples together and maps out the family’s physical journey. It allows you to see everyone who lived in a specific country, colony, or state during the same era.
- Best for: Readers who want to understand the historical context, see the communities our family built, and easily visualize where everyone was living at any given point in time.
