There are two formats to choose from:

1. Genealogy Report of 9 Generations:

This file has been updated from time to time but is not necessarily in agreement with the Pedigree file below.
The Pedegree file is more up to date and takes precidence.

    Genealogy Report (FTM format) for nine generations with pictures and notes. This data is mostly from family records but in the latter generations I have used various internet and FHS center sources where the data matched mine or sources appeared valid. Errors there may be and I am happy to share data with anyone who encounters any errors or wishes to compare sources. If you think have a connection or correction please contact me at the email address given below.


2. Indexed Pedigree File:

Over 85,000 individuals connected in some form or another to Michael Gerard Ruddy- Romaguera. This file was updated 8 Feb 2010

    The Indexed Pedegree File at some point as one traces way back in time, becomes a historical construct of royal succession or in some cases enters into a fantasy such the genealogy of the gods. In this file there are found flights of fancy taken by many people as they trace their ancestors back trying to make a connection to the royal houses of Europe and beyond. There are a few of those mixed in here that I know of where I felt it would be fun to trace my lines back to King Priam or Julius Caesar. There are others whose data I am using who probably did the same to arrive at their own personal goal. Where there is a known, disputed, connection my notes in the original gedcom, which are in my personal database and not given here, say so. My sources are my personal library of genealogy books, various databases from the internet, for example, the gigantic Royal Directory of Genealogy by Brian Tomsett at the University of Hull website in England or Paul Bailey McBride´s ancestry pedegrees at Rootsweb, and a multitude of others some of which have disappeared over the years I have been doing this research.

If you wish to know my sources or compare notes, contact me at the email address below. I used GED2HTML ver 3.6a software for compiling this file.

The father of Jedediah William Palmer is a mystery.
Jedediah was Michael Gerard Ruddy's ancestor,who
was born in 1806 out of wedlock to Mary Palmer,
daughter of Ashael Palmer of Connecticut.

Jedediah wrote a letter to Noyes Palmer, a Palmer
family genealogist, in 1881, a year before his death,
where he detailed his genealogy but shed no light
on who his father might have been.

Jedediah's son, David Henry Palmer, transcribed the
letter which can be seen by clicking on the link below.
