Biography
Several years back I began researching my family genealogy. I had made quite good progress until the drive I stored the files on went bad, and now I have to recreate the entire tree. I began with the immediate family members and the details handed down from generation to generation. I successfully mapped 3 distinct lines of Sweeney in the United States with a possible fourth in the works. The lines I mapped I refer to as The Burgess Sweeney Line (mine), the Moses Sweeney Line (a possible link to mine), The Canadian Sweeney Line (out of Canada and into the U.S., and there is evidence of at least 1 more line.
Included in this research I had gathered a very large number of branched lines as far wide as 8th cousins (about), and as far back as the 1600s (earliest). I do not stop or pause at just the ones I want to research. I research everyone as far as I can find information for.
My objective is to map my lineage as far as possible for everyone to benefit.
