The Family of William (Willie) Reynolds & Rosa (Queenie) McGee , 1946


This page was the last entry in the timeline, bringing to an end John Reynolds' epic work on recording the history of the Reynolds family. This entry was unfinished, and so his brother Paul decided to continue to recorded the family tree in some way.

However, Paul did not share John's patience and attention to detail. So, without much research and certainly no visits to records offices, he did attempt to move the project forward, starting with completing this page.

Paul's approach is completely different to Johns, and uses a more basic style.
