Chafin, Marsh and Allied Families

For quick .pdf reports of each of our family lines, be sure to see our Homepage at Rootsweb (see Links). The main index below is only for David's direct ancestors (his family file is over 14,000 people, and the limit on this page is 2000). We will be setting up a separate page for Jayne's tree soon. And then, eventually, we'll get those two pages and the material on our Homepage at Rootsweb together.

In the meanwhile, we're glad these great companies host our space for us. Be sure to email us (above) and let us know if you think we're related, or if you're willing to share information or corrections of what you find in these pages.

Be aware that some of the information--particularly early information, is somewhat speculative, but we use these files on a regular basis, and so our notes are part of the tree. Those who need verification beyond what is clearly shown in individual notes should recheck information before publishing it. Thanks!

--David & Jayne
