Thanks
to the 1985 book,
A Bit O' Yesterday by Monita
Fergus, we have a lot of information on the Getty
Family. Starting with John Getty, Sr. who was born
in what is now
Northern Ireland about 1788 the story
continues into 20th century Michigan.
The connection to the
Heiden Family comes through the former Mildred
Roggerman who was married to Arthur Heiden. Her
mother was Adeline "Addie" Getty.
Shown
below is a graphical version of a family tree created in PhotoShop.
These can be modified and personalized
to fit any branch of the family or any
individual member of the family.
It
can help to see a physical representation of facts and other
data involved in a family history. This partially explains the
use of "family trees" with relatives scattered among the
branches which helps to bring order to things.
The RootsMagic software that I use has many, many options for
displaying the information in its database. I have included a
few examples and hope to add more in the future. If you are
interesting in getting a chart or display for your particular
branch of a family, I would be glad to help you.
