Granger
Launcelot Granger was one of my 8th great grandfathers. Much has been recorded about him throughout New England's history and while I have not seen a copy of the book, there is at least one published genealogy of Launcelot. In recent weeks, several cousins have been working on the descendants in various branches from Launcelot, so I am posting my meagre information here.
I am currently working to incorporate some new information and if my life doesn't unexpectedly fly out of control (it has been known to do that), I will have some updates soon.
This symbol represents my direct lineage.
