This is a Genealogy of the Bailey Family.  It includes the Updike, Hess, Shirk, Partridge, Dunbar,  McAfee, Stanton, Champagne, Wark, Sills and Janeski lines with as much information as I've been able  to glean from the various family members.  Did you know that Benjamin Franklin and George Washington  are like 7th Cousins 10x removed?  The tree traces back to William Tell (the guy that shot the apple  off some kids head, and it was with a crossbow, not an arrow).  There's a story about the Shirk  ancestor who married an Indian Princess (not in our line)!  There are lines back to King William  (the Conqueror)of England, Henri I of France and Emperor Charlemagne!  There's a Jewish line around  1 AD that traces more than a few generations through England back into Israel.  There are two lines  that go back all the way to Troy.  And there are lines that trace back through Rome via Emperor  Justinian! Have fun, look around if you like.  If you find something that needs correction or if you  want to upload a photo, just let me know I'll be glad to oblige.  Consider this; you  start out with 2 parents, then 4 grandparents, then 8 great-grandparents, then 16 great-great- grandparents then exponentially, 32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192, etc., etc. It just keeps  going up with each new generation! It will probably take me the rest of my life to put ALL the  information together.
