This is an outline of my great-grandmother Stella Lowen Barnett's family tree. I created it as a quick reference for those who may be particularly interested in his line but don't want to go searching through all my posts to find out whether or not, say, Longridge Barnett had any siblings. Also, it'll let folks who stumble on this blog quickly get an idea if my Barnetts, Garrisons, Omans, Lowens, etc. are their Barnetts, Garrisons, Omans, Lowens, etc.
Be advised that I don't have documentation outside of family sources for some of the information you'll find here; other info is taken from census records, online marriage indexes and other databases, or bio sketches published in local histories. Right now, I really have very little in the way of official documents to back up my data--and because this is intended as a quick reference, I have not attempted to show any sources.
I realize that the setup here is a little awkward, especially when it comes to browsing the earlier generations. Eventually, I plan to create a dedicated website with cross-linked pages for each individual. Since the database I'd use to create the content for that site probably won't be in publishable shape for a while, this page is a sort of stopgap measure.
So take what you find here with a grain of salt, but without further ado I give you--
