I am in Maui! Magically I no longer hate everyone with a towering fury.
The Earth dodged a bullet, there...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Just about any genealogy software will have a bunch of different types of trees you can print out. There are reviews of a bunch of free ones here:
Great, thanks, Hil!
Dana, I hope you feel better soon and can enjoy your leisure time.

I have slathered on SPF 50 and am sitting outside. It's pretty great.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I assume a bad day in Maui beats a good day in most other places. This assumption is so strong that I very much envy you, shrift. Clearly the best thing you can do, therefore is have the bestest of best times so as to make it worthy of the envy.
Hil, if you are not tired of genealogy questions, one of the big puzzles I am trying to sort is Daniel's paternal lineage. His grandfather is listed as a Fred Christ Jensen. The record on Ancestry.com says he was born in Germany in 1858. Daniel says he was actually born in Denmark and the name should be Friedrich (or some variant thereof) Christian Jensen. His father is listed as Christ Jensen, but it should be Christian Friedrich Jensen. According to Daniel there is a long line of alternating Christian Friedrich and Friedrich Christian father to son back about seven generations to the original Jens, who was Jens Tomsen or some such. My searches have gotten a couple of Christian Friedrichs in a row, so I am not at all sure any of them. Daniel cannot recall any specific place names, but says he would probably recognize it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, there's the thing. Unless for some strange reason he acknowledged his get on property, there's no way to tell owned from fathered. If he'd married a black woman, we'd know. We'd all know. Did Samuel own any Samuels? That's how the Moulton name got to us.

You'd think the odds of two apparently unrelated John Stevens sailing to the Massachusetts Bay Colony between 1636 and 1639 would be small. My John Stevens is not the one who arrived on the ship Confidence in 1638. Mine is the one that there is much less information about.
He and two more of my ancestors, his son-in-law and grandson, were among the residents of Salisbury who signed a petition attesting to the godliness of Mary Bradbury, who was nevertheless convicted of witchcraft [link] She was sentenced to death, but jailers apparently looked the other way as her family broke her out of jail. What I learned recently was that Ray Bradbury was one of her descendents.

Wow, that's a great detail for time-travel shenanigans.

It looks like there were a few people named Sam or Samuel owned by someone named Samuel Barrett, but I'm not sure if all the Samuel Barretts are the same person. Sometimes it's Samuel Wisdom Barrett.
WindSparrow, I don't think I'd be able to find much just based on those names. The names are too common, so you'd need more information to figure out which was the right one.
