The Webmaster's Personal Genealogy
Ben Franklin
My Family Tree, Branches and Twigs

My Historically Famous Ancestors

Benjamin Franklin is the webmaster's first cousin, nine generations removed. I have traced my maternal Weeks Family back to Nathan Folger, Benjamin Franklin's first cousin. Nathan's father was Eleazer Folger, Sr. the brother of Benjamin Franklin's mother, Abiah.

Nauvoo Temple
My Maternal Weeks Family Branches

Another historical ancestor is, William Weeks, the first architect of the Mormon Church. He designed and built the Nauvoo, Illinois Temple and was to build the Salt Lake Temple when he had a falling out with Brigham Young. When he departed William took all his architectural plans with him thus delaying the start of the building of the Salt Lake Temple for about five years. Almost, a century later the plans were given back to the Mormons by William's relatives.
