52 Ancestors in 52 weeks - Week 3 - Longevity Part A

The Week 2 prompt for Amy Johnson Crow's "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks" blogging challenge is longevity.

Going through Reunion, the genealogy program I use I decided to check out the longevity of my family.


The following are the top 10 in my extended family. There may be others but these are the family members for which I have verified data. I have included the most common recent ancestor I have with them.

4 are from my paternal grandmother's father's side of the family.

6 are from my maternal grandfather's father's side of the family.

1 lived in England, 1 in the US, 4 in NSW, 3 in Victoria and 1 in Tasmania.

Mary Selina Ford and William Ford are brother and sister and Annie Ford is William's daughter.

Not one of them is a direct ancestor which means that this post doesn't really fit the theme of 52 ancestors in 52 weeks.

I'll try and post a part B to this post.
