Endless Genealogies

Being a genealogy buff, I have over several years (over half of my life actually) collected a large amount of information about my family. Since I'm somewhat young, though, most of the older people in my family have not been so quick to share their stashes of pedigree charts with me. Yesterday, though, I got my hands on the charts for some of my mother's family's lines, so I'd like to share these with my loyal readers, because they are interesting.

Koontz:

Random note: My grandfather Koontz was recently DNA tested and was found to be a member of the cohenim, the priestly line of Levi. Sweet.
