I'm sorry to announce that 2 of the family trees below now require a membership
in Ancestry.comin order to view them. When I listed them, viewing was free to all.
The first tree, that of the Proctors, is on a free site that is really great.
I have just created the 'public member' Markey, which may require
that you sign up for a FREE ancestry membership.
The 5th tree listed below is another 'public member' family tree
on Ancestry.com, published by George on his Vargha relations.

Proctor Family Tree
The family tree arrived at through this link is that of the Proctor Family, that of Kay's paternal grandmother. To return to this site, merely close the window containing the tree.
-
Joslin Family Tree
This tree details the ancestry of John Joslin, my great-grandfather's grandfather. That is, John is the father of William, who is the father of Jones Charles Caldwell Joslin. As in the Proctor tree, this family tree does not belong to Kay. There are a huge number of related Joslins, due to the size of the families; for example, William was one of 13 children, and J.C. was one of 7 children.
-
Campbell Family Tree
This Campbell Family Tree may be searched forward (for Margaret Campbell's descendants) or backward, for her ancestors. While it is not complete (it lists only my grandmother, Annie Proctor as her child, ignoring her other 7 children), it seems to be the most relevant Campbell tree on the web at the moment.

Markey Family Tree
Kay has just created the 'public member' Markey family tree, which should not require more than a 'free' ancestry membership to view. It actually contains more individuals than merely 'Markeys', so be sure to check it out. She's adding to it all the time! Email feedback to kberz@msn.com.
