This section consists of the entire contents of the print document "A Red Island (PB) Family Tree", excepting three sections ('historical papers', 'headstones', and 'misc items') that are contained elsewhere in this website.

There are approximately 7750 Red Island related people listed here (counting spouses related to Red Island only by marriage, but not counting these spouses' parents), both in a multi-level alphabetical index and grouped in families by generation. Links allow navigation within the index, between the index and the families, and within generations of the families.

Several hundred Newfoundlanders who are related to the author but not to Red Island, and were previously omitted from this site, are now included. They are highlighted in green and identified in family pages on which they appear.

The line codes that identify individual people are subject to change. These changes are necessitated when families being added would otherwise be placed out of sequence.

Note that birth and marriage years later than 1992 are presented as "bbbb" and "mmmm", giving them the same appearance as unknown dates. This is done as a safety precaution to protect privacy.

 ..........................................................................
 .
 .  This document is an attempt to chart the family trees of everyone
 . who ever lived on Red Island and their descendants.
 .
 .  Descendants of Red Islanders should note that only the Red Island
 . portion of their ancestry is included.
 .
 ..........................................................................
 .
 .  Many, many names and family relationships are still missing.
 .
 .  Any information about Red Island related people (your parents and
 . grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, children and
 . grandchildren, nieces and nephews, ...) is solicited.
 .
 .  The information needed includes marriage year, name of spouse,
 . childrens' names, birth years and the place where the family lived
 . when each child was born (town name if in Newfoundland).
 .
 .  The information in this document has been compiled from various
 . sources, some more reliable than others, so mistakes do occur.  The
 . most common error is in year of birth.
 .
 ..........................................................................
 .
 .  This document was originally written as a record of the names of the
 . people from the Newfoundland side of my family, primarily Red Island
 . and vicinity.  It has been expanded to include everyone who ever
 . lived on Red Island and their descendants.
 .
 .  Red Island was relatively isolated from other settlements, and the
 . majority of people (at least until 1930 or so) married on the island.
 . Although not everyone on the island was related, almost everyone was
 . related to some one of everyone's relatives (for example, someone who
 . is not related to my mother is probably related to her cousins).
 .
 .  The layout of generations is based on my maternal grandparents,
 . James McCarthy and Julia Reddy.
 .
 .  Families are listed alphabetically by surname within generations.

 . *** Instructions for use.
 .
 .  Each generation is indicated by a letter, starting with "b". Since 
 . generations across families do not fall into any neat pattern of years, 
 . extra or missing generations can appear within families (for example, 
 . someone being older than his uncle).
 .
 .  The layout of generations is centered on my grandparents, James V 
 . McCarthy and Julia Reddy. 
 .
 .     'b' - great-grandparents of James and Julia
 .     'c' - grandparents of James and Julia
 .     'd' - parents of James and Julia
 .     'e' - James and Julia
 .     'f' - children of James and Julia
 .     'g' - grandchildren of James and Julia
 .     'h' - great-grandchildren of James and Julia
 .     'i' - great-great-grandchildren of James and Julia
 .
 .  Every person is identified by a 'line code'.  This code consists of
 . five characters: the first is a letter representing the generation
 . (as noted above); the second is the first letter of the person's
 . surname; the third through fifth are a 3-digit code, which may
 . consist of letters and numbers.
 .
 .  A person who initially appears due to marrying a Red Islander does
 . not have his/her own line code;  he/she shares the code of his/her
 . spouse.  An exception is made where two or more brothers/sisters
 . married Red Islanders.
 .
 .  Families are grouped together into 'family boxes'.
 .
 .  The first line of each box starts with a line code ending with an
 . 'x', indicating the range of line codes that can be within the box
 . (for example, code 'cb10x' indicates that line codes cb100 through
 . cb10z are assigned to this family box).  If the rest of the first
 . line is blank, then the people within the box may or may not be
 . related (their parents' names are not known); otherwise the rest of
 . the first line names the parents of the family.  If a line code
 . precedes a parent's name, it is a pointer back to where the parent is
 . listed as a child in his/her parents' family box.
 .
 .  One line is used for each child of a set of parents.  It contains
 . the child's own line code, birthplace code (if known), birthyear or
 . 'bbbb' (if date not known), a '+' or '-', the child's full name, and
 . comments.  The '+-' indicates whether ('+') or not ('-') there is a
 . marriage record for this child in the family box.  If a child is
 . known by a nickname, other than a common alteration or shortening of
 . the first name (such as Min, Mae, Bill, Jim, Ellie, Kate, etc), or by
 . a middle name, it appears in apostrophes as part of the name.  If the
 . child is known by a religious name, it appears in parentheses to the
 . right of the name.  The comments are generally notes when someone
 . had no children or died young.  A comment in the form 'D-yyyy'
 . indicates year of death.
 .
 .  Each child entry that has a '+' also has another entry within the
 . box to detail a marriage and/or identify the parents of a child.  The
 . person listed first on the marriage line is the member of this family
 . box.  Next is the marriage year, birthyear of the oldest child, or
 . 'mmmm' (if the date is not known).  The name of the spouse follows.
 . If a reference in the form '(also .....)' appears on the line, it
 . indicates that the spouse also appears elsewhere in his/her own
 . family box.  An entry above or to the right of a marriage line may
 . contain a birth year (B-....) and/or place of birth and/or a death
 . year (D-....).  Additionally, a line above a marriage may contain
 . parents' names for one of the people (these parents' names do not
 . appear in the index and do not count toward the name total for the
 . document).  The extra 'parents line' only occurs for a person who
 . does not appear elsewhere as a child in a family box.  If a person
 . married more than once, the line code on the first marriage is
 . suffixed with an 'a', the second with a 'b', etc.  The line after a
 . marriage may specify that the couple had no children or may point
 . forward to a family box where the childrens' names appear.
 .
 .   A '?' immediately following a name means that the name may be
 . incorrect.  A '?' alone means a name is not known.
 .
 .  When there are two (or more) birth dates or birth places seperated
 . by '/', it means that different records have conflicting information.
 .
 .  When a name appears in the format "John E 'Edward' Jones", it means
 . (in this example) that John Edward Jones was known as Edward Jones.
 .
 ...............................................................................
 .
 .  When any year is immediately preceeded by a '@', it indicates that
 . the year is approximate, but probably correct within one year.
 .
 .  When a marriage year is immediately preceeded by a '<', it indicates
 . that the marriage year is not known, but is probably not later than
 . the year shown, based on the birth year of the oldest known child.
 .
 .  When a birth year is immediately preceeded by a '<', it indicates
 . that the birth year is not known, but is probably not later than the
 . year shown.  When preceded by a '>', it indicates that the birth
 . year is probably not earlier than the year shown.
 .
 .  When a death year is immediately preceeded by a '<', it indicates
 . that the death year is not known, but is not later than the year shown.
 .
 .  Method for determining '<' (no later than) birth and marriage years.
 .
 .  . For a marriage year: the birth year of the oldest child.
 .
 .  . For a man's birth year: the earlier of (1) 20 years before his
 .    marriage year and (2) his wife's birth year.
 .
 .  . For a woman's birth year: the earlier of (1) 18 years before her
 .    marriage year and (2) 10 years after her husband's birth year.
 .
 .  Method for determining '>' (no earlier than) birth years.
 .
 .    For a woman's birth year: if the marriage year is unknown, her
 .    husband's birth year is used.
 .
 .    For a child: the parents' marriage year is used.

 . *** Research notations.
 .
 .   One or more letters may appear at the left side of a line in a family 
 . box.  These are codes to identify sources for the information on that line.
 . The full sourcenames are also included at the bottom of each screen where a 
 . notation appears. 
 .
 .   Red Island was part of the Argentia parish until 1941.  Parish
 . records did not usually list locale or, for marriages, parents' names,
 . until 1895.  Starting in 1895, baptisms included the locale, and
 . marriages included the locales, ages, parents' names and parents'
 . places of birth.
 .
 .   A few warnings about data reliability:
 .
 .     . Baptisms were not always immediately entered in church records,
 .       so there are some errors and people missing.
 .
 .     . Ages in marriage records are sometimes incorrect.
 .
 .     . Places of birth in marriage records are sometimes incorrect.
 .
 .     . The mother's maiden name, especially in a child's marriage
 .       record, is sometimes incorrect.
 .
 .     . The places of birth of parents, especially in childrens'
 .       marriage records, are often incorrect.
 .
 .     . Census data (1921, 1935, and 1945) is often unreliable.  These
 .       records contain numerous errors.
 .
 .     . Government birth records were recorded from information sent
 .       in by the clergy, so they are less accurate than baptismal
 .       records.
 .
 .   When a marriage code appears next to a marriage line, it applies
 . to the marriage.  When it appears on a person's birth line, or above
 . a person's marriage line, it is verifying a place of birth and/or a
 . birthyear.
 .
 .   Census codes used without a note explaining locale are for Red
 . Island.
 .
 .   Not all data sources have been noted.  When a primary source is
 . available, such as a baptism or marriage record, secondary sources,
 . such as census data, may be omitted.
 .
 .   The meanings of the symbols:
 .
 .       a = 1911 census
