Inside Kari’s tree
‒ ‒ ‒ Cousin marriage. The crimson dashed line joins two cards that are the same person — James Boren Sr., who stands above both of Olin Boren’s parents.
The links between the trees
· · · 37 shared ancestors. Each gold dotted line joins one person who appears in both pedigrees — two cards, one line.
· · · Purple, always shown — the first convergence: Maud and Elizabeth de Badlesmere, the sisters the two families descend from.
——— Red — the marriage that joined the lines again in 2002.
Hover any line: all 37 light up at once, and that person’s card opens beside your cursor.
