Here are the statistics for the five Ferris lineages I am managing on Ancestry. At this point, none of them are related to any other.
| LINEAGE | PEOPLE | MARRIAGES |
|---|---|---|
| Descendents of Jeffrey Ferris in the USA and Canada | 13,316 | 5,312 |
| John-George Ferris Canada Family Tree | 800 | 309 |
| Ferris – Cuthbert leaf Family | 430 | 161 |
| Descendents of Zachariah Ferris in the United States | 1,135 | 376 |
| Richard James Ferris of Virginia | 270 | 97 |
Remember a couple of things here. I am only tracking people with the last name Ferris. That means that MY family trees are much smaller than a traditional one. While no relationship between the trees is known
, the Cuthbert / Cudbeth tree and the John / George in Canada tree area almost certainly related to either Jeffrey’s or Zachariah’s tree.
Hope you are well. As per DNA, descendants of Jeffrey and Zachariah show that these 2 guys were related.
DNA will likely solve a lot of these issues. Hope folks will post their conclusions on-line.
