There are eight genealogical tables at the end of the book, several of them quite large. Each of the images serve as a link to a larger version. Each caption includes a link to a transcription based on the Henry System of genealogical notation (see here for an explanation. Some modifications were made to that system to accomodate the complicated nature of these families.
