Roots: New Family Line


Alanson Strong (1811-97)


A friend who does genealogies did a quick one for me last year. He admitted that time it might not be accurate, but a full one would cost a lot of time and money.


I was pleased with his results, which traced my family line back to Elder John Strong, with a couple of hints about his father and grandfather back in England.. 


Turns out, it was not accurate. It took a wrong turn with Alanson Strong’s father. I was able to find what seems to be the right stream. And I was able to extend it back into the Middle Ages and to France!


Here is the new family tree - just for the father/son stream, and not including all the branches.
