1. Ancestor Charts.
Ancestor Charts
have
been prepared for Emilito and Heide, and also for Heide's sister
Annegret, biological daughter of Heide's stepfather Rolf Schmitt.
Naturally ancestor charts for Emil and Heide and Anne's siblings will
be identical to their own. Although living people are named, data
has been intentionally withheld on these charts. It is possible
that ancestor charts of in-laws will be added in the future.
Note that in ancestor
charts, people are numbered regularly - 2 will always be the person's
father, and 3 the mother, 4 and 5 the paternal grandparents, 6 and 7
the maternal grandparents, etc. Therefore the first generation is
numbered 1, the second 2 and 3, the third 4 hrough 7 . . . . numbers
get high very quickly and to complete 10 generations there would be
1023 names.
Ancestors of Emil SIGNES
(b. 1940)
Ancestors of Heide RUPPEL
(b. 1940)
Ancestors of Annegret
SCHMITT (b. 1947)
As the latest
additions
to the family, Emilito's grandchildren Jacob and Anika bring an
entirely new set of
ancestors, those of his father Arthur Dearwood DESCH IV, AKA Kip.
For Jacob and Anika's ancestral line, please see

DESCH (b. 2003)
2. Pedigree Charts
A Pedigree Chart
is an
alternate way of showing, in a graphic manner, the ancestor data.
Although it is all repeat data from the above, it may be easier to
decipher. We begin one generation up, with the parents of Emil
(Emilio & Carmen), Heide (Theo and Anneliese), and Anne (Rolf and
Anneliese).

3. Descendant
Charts
Descendant Charts
are
the least-readily structured of the group, as individuals marry once,
several times or not at all, have different numbers of children, etc.,
and if this data is not known the quantitu of missing data is also
unknown. In addition, if, say, all 512 7th great-grandparents were
known, then there would be 512 descendant charts for the descendants of
each of these individuals. Fortunately or unfortunately, it is
rare that all this data is known, and usually known non-repetitive data
is restricted to a few major branches. Thus Emilito has chosen to
restrict the data to several relatively non-repeating branches of both
his and Heide and Anne's family. Specifically, the following
descendant charts from individuals whose (sometimes very) approximate
birth years are given.
Emilito's
branches:
Descendants of José
SIGNES and Rosa ARABÍ (c. 1775)
Descendants of Juan de
LAGOS and María XIMENEZ (c. 1750)
Descendants of Diego TOLEDO
and Maria SORIANO (c. 1775)
Descendants of Pedro
BESTEIRO and Josefa GUIZA (c. 1775)
Descendants of
Julián FERNÁNDEZ and María GARCíA (c. 1800)
Descendants of Giuseppe
Antonio GRAZIANI (1754) and María Lucia MARCHI (1756)
Descendants of Venancio
LORENZO and Feliciana BLAS (c. 1800)
In addition, as
Giuseppe Antonio GRAZIANI was the father of the first emigrants to
Spain, Emilito began the chart with him. We have, however,
information
that goes back more than 200 years before Giuseppe Antonio's
birth. This will be presented separately as the first 12
generations of Graziani (although there were no surnames associated
with this family prior to the late 17th century). The earliest
documented ancestor is Giambattista [no surname], born towards the end
of the 15th century. The first 12 generations, beginning with
Giambattista, and ending with the first generation born in Spain, may
be found on the following page:
Graziani,
the first 12 generations: Descendants of Giambattista (c. 1490)
Finallly, for the US
branch of the family, the following is a descendant chart for the
"co-founders" of the "US Lagos-Besteiro family," Antonio LAGOS TOLEDO
and Josefa BESTEIRO GRACIANI, known to Emilito and his generation as
"Papa" and "Maina." Although this is a subset of the
following descendant charts - Lagos-Ximénez, Toledo-Soriano,
Besteiro-Guiza, Fernández-García, Graziani-Marchi, and
Lorenzo-Blas - it deserves a special place because Antonio and Josefa
were the founders of the uniquely US branch of all these families.
Descendants of Antonio LAGOS
TOLEDO (1880) and Josefa LAGOS BESTEIRO (1884)
Heide's
branches:
Descendants of Johannes
RUPPEL (c. 1725)
Descendants of Johann
Heinrich STEINHAUER (c. 1725)
Descendants of Barthold
WETZEL (c. 1330)
Descendants of Hans WEITZ
and Margareta KOLB (c. 1600)
Descendants of Andreas
SCHELLENBERG (c. 1700)
Anne's
branches:
Descendants of Jost
WEINBRENNER (c. 1480) and Else MEHL (c. 1485)
Descendants of Adam SCHMITT
(c. 1820) and Elisabetha LINK (c. 1825)
Descendants of
Johannes BAUKNECHT and Carolina OLTMANN (c. 1800)
