GEDCOM Note

Direct Ancestor Page 11- The History of Edward Poole and his Descendants of Weymouth, Mass. (1635) by Murray Edward Poole, A.B. Press of the Ithaca Democrat, 1893. This symbol denotes a couple made up of individuals who were already in my tree before their marriages. Most just happen to be "connected" through marriages of their siblings, as in two brothers from one family married two sisters from another, etc.

There are some real cousin marriages in this tree if you go far back especially in the Quaker branch early 1700s. Although certainly disgusting now, cousin marriages were "normal" to people back then.

Sometimes I get lazy and don't attach this to everyone in the tree who is connected, but if I do it helps me keep things straight when I am working on sorting out dates, names, and relationships.
