Abstract: Using MyheritageFamily software, I generated a family tree, reaching back 6 generations. This particular family tree comes from my mothers side, starting with her grand niece, Leah. The family tree follows along Leahs line to her great-great-great grandmother, Frances Tucker. I found the primary sources by using ancestry.com.
