Wally Atkins Family Wiki:Direct line of Wally Atkins
From Wally Atkins Family Wiki
This page tracks the current working direct paternal line supplied by Wally Atkins and gradually reconciled against the family-history source base.
Direct line
- Benjamin Latane Atkins (father, 1945-2025)
- Donald Leigh Atkins (grandfather, 1924-2013)
- Robert Alexander Atkins (great-grandfather, 1891-1977)
- Joseph Henry Atkins (2nd great-grandfather, 1865-1912)
- Patrick Henry Atkins (3rd great-grandfather, 1833-1904 or 1906; date reconciliation still in progress)
- Benjamin Atkins (4th great-grandfather, date reconciliation still in progress)
- John Atkins and earlier generations as the line is further reconciled
Why this page matters
This is the spine of the project for Wally's branch of the family. Rather than treating the entire family-history book as one undifferentiated mass, this page keeps the focus on the line that connects Wally directly to the named people, places, and stories preserved in the larger record.
Working notes
- Some dates and generational links currently reflect Wally's supplied line and need reconciliation against compiled-family-source extraction and later verification records.
- This page should become more precise as the database and source notes improve.
