Family Timeline
Travel two centuries in a glance, from the earliest keepers to the newest arrivals.
The first Kinlore land
The earliest deed in the archive: meadow acres and an orchard slope, bought with harbour wages and worked by the whole household.
Harbour wages, orchard rows
One line of the family works the boats while another plants the rows Margaret would one day press. Letters begin crossing regularly.
A generation of keepers is born
Margaret, Brooklyn, Jenny, and Evelyn arrive within thirteen years — the orchard keeper, the light-keeper, the historian, and the teacher.
Boats, classrooms, cameras
Robert's workshop, Evelyn's classroom registers, and the first reunion photographs. The family starts gathering on purpose, not just by chance.
The archive takes shape
Jenny's binders, Bessie's kitchen ledger, Daniel's nine thousand negatives. The 2015 reunion quilt carries 214 signatures into the reading room.
The living tree
Two thousand verified profiles, three branches, and new pages every month. The next entry could be yours.
