Family History

Pages 6 and 7

The next two pages are in a different format as they are more detailed and not trying to cover multiple generations of multiple branches.  They will be much clearer to read and understand.

page 7


And that is just the first six children!  This is how the pages look when they are facing each other



All of these pages are still in draft form and need to be tweaked and refined before they are finished.

 Davison Family History Photo Book

I have started to put together a "potted" history for family members - when I say "potted" I really do mean just that.  There is so much information and such large families in our history that it would be impossible to include all of it.  I was requested to provide something about our family history for our Davison Family Party that will be taking place in April and after a lot of thought I decided that this was probably the best way to do it.  This will be the first occasion for many, many years that so many of us will have been gathered together in one place - and for some of us it will be a first introduction to the family they have joined!

This book, therefore, concentrates on the "Davisons of Theodosia Street", which also includes the Laidlaw family as my "Grandma Davison" was a Laidlaw by birth.

At this point I have only prepared the first five pages, which I will post below.  Pages 2 and 3 will be facing each other, as will pages 4 and 5.

And this is as far as I have got to date!

I have made some amendments to the way the tree is presented in the hopes that this will make it easier to follow.  I have added coloured arrows in order to make it easier to follow the family lines.  I have also managed to stitch together pages 2 and 3, and pages 4 and 5 as they need to be viewed as a whole.
