Source and relationship notes
Selected historical branches transcribed from the 1940 government pedigree appendix. Parent links mean recorded in this source, not independently proven biological descent. Spelling variants are retained in notes. Gaps are left open; succession alone is not parentage. Recent descendants, current locations, contact details and schooling require further sources and consent. Legendary remote origins are not entered as established ancestry.
Remote origin traditions and an ancient-to-modern chain are not reconstructed. Later twentieth-century descendants are left for separately sourced additions.
