  • People colors
    • Purple = Kelsey's ancestors
    • Light Blue = Casey's ancestors
    • Red = Link between parent/child not verifiable (by me). Extends to all ancestors.
    • Orange = Link between parent/child has one dubious source (usually findagrave or a single person's research)
      • I'm going to try not to import descendants from these sources because it's a pain to remove them after the fact if the source is wrong.
    • Pink = slaveowner. bad man
    • Green = not copying siblings/additional wives etc
