I’ve created a timeline for
the Neller family of
Ina and her sister Caroline
did the research and daughter Marjorie created the artwork for the family tree
drawing that is used as a background on my Genealogy Main Page. Another copy done for the Neller
family has on the bottom this note:
“Made for Ina Briggs Neller---Genealogy by Caroline Briggs Mathie---Marjorie
Neller Peterson, Artist 1935.”
My copy is beat, tattered
and torn with a side cut off, but you may look at my scan
here. Unfortunately, I can’t get
better resolution and I put the gray shade to it to give it an even
appearance. And here is the unaltered version. If any one knows who has the original, I
would love to visit it. It should be considered
a work of art and be framed and protected.
Krisy Brue currently holds the Neller version. It
is my understanding that the sisters did the research as part of their becoming
DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) members; that is why there are a
couple soldiers stamped onto the lower half.
My research into the family history has shown that every branch and name
on the tree is completely accurate.
Considering they worked in the early 1930’s without the aide of
computers, modern communications, and travel, it is truly amazing. Thank you, Ina, Caroline, and Marjorie.
