Genealogy Research
Ancestor List for Thomas Higginson 
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text.
Ancestor Explorer [independent app]
View or download a list of up to 20 generations of ancestors who meet a wide variety of criteria, map them, and more.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Connections
How many degrees of separation are between Thomas and Henry VIII (or anyone else)? This Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder, but it's a fun way to illustrate how closely we're all connected.
Descendants 
Since Thomas has no children the descendants page isn't available.
Do you know of children?
Please let the profile managers know.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants 
Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Thomas's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Thomas gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Thomas's X chromosome, also shown here.
The DNA Descendants link isn't active because Thomas has no children. It may still be possible to test connections to Thomas by testing other descendants of his ancestors who inherited the same Y chromosome, X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid 
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Thomas's tree.
Dynamic Tree
The dynamic tree expands to include an unlimited number of generations of parents and children. You can zoom in or out and pan around for the perfect view as you browse.
Dynamic Tree by Topola [independent app]
This app has advanced visualization tools plus downloading and printing capabilities.
Family Group Sheet 
This simple page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's handy when someone had children from more than one marriage.
It may not be useful here unless you add a spouse.
Family List
This flexible tool enables you to see more ancestors and/or descendants on one page than anywhere else on WikiTree.
Fan Chart [independent app]
This tool has lots of options for display, color, and sharing, including DNA inheritance, print with PDF, and other views such as "Fractal H-Trees" and "Relative SpiderWebs."

Location Maps

Here are quick links to mapping websites:
Birth: Ireland on Google Maps | Open Street Map.
Death: Unknown.
WikiTree+'s Map Navigator can plot Thomas's ancestors or descendants on a map.
Printer-Friendly Tree 
This view parallels the pedigree chart above but it is optimized for printing. It can be used as a fill-in-the-blanks form at a family gathering.
Profile of Thomas
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Thomas's name on WikiTree it will be linked to the profile at https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Higginson-343 where Higginson-343 is Thomas's unique WikiTree ID.
Relationship Finder 
Enter Higginson-343 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Thomas and the other person.
It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal. See the Relationship Finder Quick Links to check for relationships to US presidents, Mayflower passengers, Magna Carta Sureties and more.
Research with RootsSearch [independent app]
Automatically search for Thomas on more than 20 different genealogy websites with the RootsSearch app.
Share Tree on Facebook 
Download and share an attractive family tree image. This is a great way to elicit information and photo sharing from family and old friends. You might be surprised at who replies. The "Wikid Shareable Tree" is another option. You can just copy and paste the URL https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Higginson-343/4 into your favorite social network.
Surnames 
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Thomas's family names.
Many members share its URL https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Higginson-343/10 via email, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.

Tests of Thomas's DNA
