Master Ancestor Timeline by Location
Welcome to a brand-new way to explore our family history! This page takes the ancestral research originally gathered for Volume II of the Homer Family History Book and reorganizes it to give you a clearer look at our family’s journey through time and place.
The original list
Instead of navigating through cross-referenced family numbers, this page groups our ancestors by geographic location—the specific country, colony, or state where they were married. Within each region, ancestors are sorted chronologically from oldest to youngest.
How this layout works:
Grouped by Location: You can browse the tree by specific geographic regions to see everyone who lived in that area.Sorted by Marriage Date: Within each region, ancestors are sorted chronologically by their marriage date. I chose to sort by marriage rather than individual birth dates so that couples stay grouped together on the timeline, rather than being separated across different pages or sections.
Why this layout helps: By grouping our family by the places they lived, it is much easier to see the communities they built and the history they witnessed. You can easily explore everyone who lived in a specific colony or state during the same era, helping us better connect with the unique times and places our family experienced together.
