James Arthur (Archie) Horton: Robin's Roots Test

1848 - 1909 (61 years)

TNG Descendant Charts

Please note that you don't have to depend on these descriptions; you can quickly try out each of the chart types.

Graphical formats

"Standard" charts have a marvelous graphical format and show a fair amount of data for each person, but they generate so much whitespace that they tend to be wider than the screen (or a printed page) They tend to be hard to read and almost impossible to print if you generate more than three or four generations of data.
"Compact" charts have similar graphical layout, and are easier to read and print, but don't display any data other than each person's name.
Note that if you want to print a "Compact" chart with more than three or four generations of data, you should probably specify "Landscape" orientation when you print.
The "PDF chart" is kind of a cross between the standard and compact formats, generated as a PDF. On most computers, any web page can be printed as a PDF, but this PDF format handles page breaks for specific paper sizes, wheras PDF printouts of web pages just run the text through the page breaks

(The graphical charts' connecting lines sometimes disappear at certain zoom level. When they are missing, you can use you mouse scroll whell or hit control-plus or control-minus to change the zoom level.)

Text formats

"Text" charts follow a standard outline-style format that provides more (i.e. denser) data than the graphical charts do.
"Text+" charts are kind of a cross between the graphical and text formats. They can display much more data in less space than graphical charts or the "Text" chart. (That's good news and bad news). In particular, they requires much less horizontal scrolling, and can accommodate large charts in one printed page width (albeit sometimes with legal-sized paper in landscape mode). They are also much more flexible than the other formats, with several (perhaps too many) run-time options.
However,
- The process of printing a Text+ chart can be a bit daunting, and
- When you are looking at just a few generations, and when enough data is visible on the screen, the graphical charts tend to be easier to read.
"Register" charts are detailed descriptive reports. They contain almost all of the data that I have for each person, including free-form notes. But they aren't really 'charts' in the normal sense, and don't give this kind of overview of the family tree that the other charts give.
"Count" charts don't list descendants at all; they just show how many descendants a person has, broken out by generation.

Anna Geraldine Horton

(3.James², 1.James¹) was born on 9 Nov 1906.

Other Events and Attributes:

Residence: 1910, Purcell, Jasper County, Missouri, USA
Residence: 1920, Tiger, Creek County, Oklahoma, USA
Residence: 1930, St Louis, St Louis County, Missouri, USA; With husb. Walter Whelan, son Sammy, and parents

Notes:

In March 1924, when Geraldine was 16, her mother Ollie Horton was a witness to Geraldine's marriage with Otto (Ott) Davis in a civil ceremony in Oklahoma City. Ott lived a long and reasonably-well-documented life, but that wedding is the only record of any association between Ott and Geraldine.

The 1930 federal census reports that Geraldine and her parents were living in St. Louis, Mo, in the home of her husband Walter F Whelan, as was Geraldine's and Walter's son Sammy Joe Whelan, who was born 8 months after Geraldine's marriage to Ott Davis.

There is no record of a marriage between Geraldine and Walter, but Sammy's 1990 Social Security death record does list them as his parents.

The 1930 census reports that Geraldine's first marriage was at age 16, which matches her marriage with Ott Davis. That census also reports that 37-year-old Walter's first marriage was at age 31 - the same year that as Geraldine's marriage and Sammy's birth.

In the 1940 census, Sammy was living with Geraldine's mother Ollie and her (Ollie's) new husband in Lawton, Oklahoma, and and is reported as their grandson.

This Geraldine could be the Geraldine Horton who married Oscar Baskar in Colorado Springs CO in 1933 and lived with him in Arkansas until they divorced in 1960. That marriage and divorce and intervening censuses are the only plausible life events that I have found for Geraldine after 1930.

Walter Whelan is likely to have been born in Omaha, NE, and to have lived there most of his life. (I'm not sure why I haven't added that information about him.)The 1930 census reports that he was born in Nebraska.

Family/Spouse: Walter F Whelan. Walter was born in 1893. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
