Ancestor Chart for Jean Margaret Kennedy
The following chart maps out the recent known ancestry of my grandmother, Jean Margaret Kennedy, wife of Richard Mitchelson, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It serves as a companion to the ancestor-table given in The ancestry of Jean Margaret Kennedy, where citations for the identifications, and in some cases more generations of ancestry, are given.
The two sides of Margaret’s ancestry could hardly be more different in the circumstances leading to their discovery, or in the extent of the results obtained. Her father was fortunate enough to be uncle to the late Cecelia (Coon) Botting, who made their shared ancestry the object of nearly a lifetime of study. Her mother, on the other hand, was a secretive woman whose concealed background would not be revealed until the necessary records were released and indexed in the late twentieth century. Thus the maternal side of the pedigree is entirely a modern reconstruction, produced without benefit of traditional information.
