a door into the family wing

You and I share 60 of these people.

This is the family-history wing of owentemple.com, built standing where I stand — every wedge above is a named ancestor. If you descend from John Barnitz Bond, Jr. (1868–1922) & Alice Plunkett (1893–1980), every lit wedge is a direct ancestor of yours exactly as it is mine: 60 named people across 9 generations, back to the 1610s. The dim grey is the rest of my sky — lines you and I don't share. Click any lit wedge to meet the person.

How to read this place

Everything here is labeled from where I stand — ✦ direct ancestor, "my 3×-great-grandfather." Here is the useful accident of cousinhood: if you are my second cousin, we stand the same number of steps from everyone we share, so within your rooms my labels are literally yours, unchanged. One generation off — once removed either way — and every person page has an "I am:" picker that relabels the whole site for your generation and remembers your choice.

One honest caveat: outside the Bond & Plunkett rooms, a person marked ✦ is my direct ancestor but not yours — the fan above shows exactly where the boundary runs.

Your rooms

Of the eight family rooms in this wing, these are the ones that are your direct ancestry:

Bond

Baltimore County → the Methodist circuits → Missouri → Little Rock

A circuit-riding preacher whose parents are still the family's oldest open question; a Gettysburg-born doctor who ended in an Arizona copper camp; a wedding and a death on Little Rock's Arch Street.

Step into the Bond room →

Plunkett

Killummod, Roscommon → Saint-Domingue → Williamsburg → Des Arc, Arkansas

An Irish Catholic with no future under the Penal Laws, a Paris-born commandant, a buccaneer's daughter — and a family that ran for the boats when Haiti rose, refugees twice over, four generations from Torbeck to the Grand Prairie.

The family albums

The albums live on Google Photos, shared by link. Unlike the tree, they may include living family — they are photographs, not records.

Wrong door? The picker lists them all. And if you hold a piece of this story — a letter, a photograph, a correction — that is exactly what publishing it is for.
