The family of Lawrence and Malissa Interactive sample
This is a working sample of the tree the full site will carry — not a printed list, but the family itself, laid out to be walked. Tap or click any person and the tree re-centers on them: their parents above, their children below, and who they were in the panel below it. Drag to move around the canvas; zoom gently with the + and − buttons, a scroll wheel, or two fingers. Start at Lawrence, and walk it — down to the boys, up through Jennie to Daniel McCoy and Randall, across Nancy McCoy's marriage into the Hatfields, or up Nellie Duty's Vance line all the way to Abner Vance, hanged in 1819. And when you want to know how anyone here connects to Lawrence, tap them, then tap Show my line to Lawrence Carey — the road lights up in red, step by step, and the panel below the tree spells it out in words.
Carey McCoy Hatfield Vance & Duty Other lines, and married in
Drag to pan · scroll, pinch, or use +/− to zoom · Fit all shows the whole picture at once · Full screen gives the tree the whole iPad · the Overview map at the lower right always shows where you are — tap it to jump · “Close family / Wider family” changes how much family is on the canvas at once.
Sample only — one connected set of 51 people, drawn from the book's own records: the Carey household, the McCoys above Jennie, and the Vance line above Nellie Duty. The full build will draw the whole tree from the complete export — McCoys, Vances, Dutys, Hatfields, Chafins, and Lorimers, several hundred names deep — with living people shown by name only. The three children of Lawrence and Malissa who died between the 1900 and 1910 censuses are unnamed in every record found, and stand in the full tree as the book carries them: counted, and mourned, and nameless.
