For the first time in about 15 years, I have sufficiently cleaned up the master database to where I can finally post the entire file here on this site. Source citations will continue to be a "work in progress."

My long term goals include the addition of some photos of individuals (not living) and gravesites.

Note that detailed information is hidden for living individuals unless you have a login for this website. Contact me to discuss obtaining a login name.

My Story

The marriage of my two parents was a fortunate one for me, and not only for the obvious reason! I inherited extensive genealogical research from both sets of grandparents that set me up for a passion in genealogy.

While their citation methods may not have been up to modern standards, I have enjoyed the challenge of reviewing their papers to tie the data back to historical documentation. I wish I could share with them the marvels of DNA analysis and how it is affecting genealogy research of the 21st century. It has taken DNA comparison to break through walls in the genealogy that stood up to 30 years of my grandparents' research.

If you have any questions, comments, or would like to share research, please contact me -- Jeremy Franklin. I would especially appreciate hearing from you if we are cousins through any of the primary surnames listed above. Allensworth is a fairly unusual surname, so I have a particular interest in that lineage. Use the link in this paragraph to access the email page. I look forward to hearing from you!

August 2011 - Added "Immigrant Ancestors" and "Noteworthy Kin" pages, including short bios, additional details, and more sources for those individuals.

July 2011 - Started uploading photos; will continue into fall as I receive more from family members.

1 June 2011 - Major database update. Entire database posted, including special emphasis on additional detail at aunts, uncles, and cousins from early 1800s through early 1900s.

23 August 2010 - Have reviewed and fixed all location information to eliminate redundancies and variations in formatting, punctuation, and spelling.

18 August 2010 - Completing sources/citations will be an on-going task. I have focused my time for this task on direct ancestors, but I will eventually get to all persons and facts and improve the citation details where applicable. Ask if you have any questions in the meantime.

17 August 2010 - All new website! It will be under construction for quite some time.
