Due to the size of the combined lineage data for the DAVIS/LEAF and the MISCHER/PRINCE files, it has become necessary to divide these into TWO separate GEDCOM databases. If you don't find the surname for which you're looking in one database, please try the other. I've included the most "populous" surnames present in each of the database links below. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

The RSD logo arises from the DAVIS surname in addition to the recurring
Robert Sidney given name, hence
RSD. Considering this given name from my oldest grandson's generation backward, there have been five
Robert Sidney's in the eight known
DAVIS generations. This tradition, understandably, is the basis for this particular logo. This in no way diminishes other given names in the lineage since others within the lineage reflect or have begun similar and proud traditions.
