Roscoe Conkling Keeney, Sr. and Margurette Alice "Maggie" Paxton |
One of those related after-followings, a special issue of the Keeney Update, March 1987, includes a preface which numbers the generations beginning in America. The first ancestor mentioned in that preface is unnumbered. However, I, John Gwin, in searching for a way to align ALL my lines, am renumbering them, starting arbitrarily with my own generation as 28. My parents' generation is 27, and my kids' is 29. All others will go forward or backward from there. That leaves us plenty of room to work backward without having to stop and say, "Rats. I wish I'd started with ten instead of nine." And maybe we're being optimistic, but in this rapidly expanding world of the internet, who knows how soon and how far back we'll find ourselves? So 28 it is.
