ISTED (Ancestral) Family Groups of Bruce ISTED
Compiled by Bruce ISTED of New Zealand (as at October 2006)
NB The Family Groups below are listed in chronological order starting from myself. There may be errors and omissions; and not all data proven (especially from 9th-15th generations). My direct (main) ancestors within the family groups are in red font. All events (births, marriages, deaths) took place in county of Sussex, England unless otherwise indicated. In some cases (1600s+) I have fuller dates (many being baptisms and burials from parish registers/Bishop Transcripts). I have some data on the ISTED siblings within family groups and these are known as ISTED descendant branches.
