Notes on paternal ancestors of Marjorie Gibbon nee Humphrey.

There are links from these notes to each person's Wikitree profile, which includes all sources and notes and links to other family members, and for the more recent people there is often a photograph. On the Wikitree profiles, anything underlined is a link, and the boxed 'Ancestors' and 'Descendants' show a tree of ancestors or a list of descendants. Profiles of living people are private, try person 2 or 3.

Ancestors are listed using the Ahnentafel numbering system. Person 1 is the root of the tree, their father is number 2, their mother is number 3. For anyone in the tree, their father's number is double their number, and their mother's number is double their number plus one.
