    I got these from a MyHeritage family tree, however I cannot share this in public because the owner sets her family tree to private. For her paternal grandfather’s side, which is not expanded on the said MyHeritage tree, I got these from a Ancestry.com family tree, however you will need a subscription to view his own family tree.
