Earlier 'Family Trees' contain information taken from 'Shakespeareana Genealogica', with details from other sources, and also information submitted by other researchers.
These 'Family Trees' are shown in image form, and may take time to download................please be patient!
New Software (available FREE!! from the 'Download Section') has made the availability of the 'Family Trees' in this section possible as a 'Dynamic Family Tree' - where available these are listed below: for those not yet listed please contact the site author with a request and the relevant 'Family Tree' can be made available in a matter of seconds! (the software is that easy to use) - there are so many it is difficult to make these available all at once. For an example see the 'Dynamic Family Tree' of the 'Stepney Shakespeares' The software allows the inclusion of notes from the gedcom file used, and also 'filtering' to exclude living individuals - if you notice any discrepancies please let me know, as it is the policy of the site not to include living people for privacy reasons.

USA |
|
The majority of Shakespeares in the USA derive from English settlers. However, in addition there are families of African-American descent - probably derived from English ancestors, Native-American Shakespeares have been found, having 'adopted' English names, and a few individuals of Afro-Caribbean descent entered the USA, mostly in the 20th century via Ellis Island. In a number of cases the English origins of these families has already been determined and are listed among the families from which they derive, but to clarify which families are involved these are detailed below. | |
