I apologize in advance for this page--the formatting that worked on the other trees is not working here and I cannot figure out how to fix it.  Please bear with me--the number is wrong, even though the indentations are in the wrong places.  I fear that I will have to redesign this page in order for it to work.

 

The Sturgis tree has grown by leaps and bounds 
due to contributions (many thanks to Gerald and all of his contacts!). 

Base on the size (I don't even have all of it), I have decided to focus this tree on the descendants of James Armstrong Sturgis (1755-1790): 1A-2D-3D-4B-5A-[6B].  For the rest of the ancestors, only people through the 6th generation are listed.  If I find websites where other descendants are the focus, I will create a link so that everyone can access that information from here as well. 

  If you find that your tree connects with mine (and is not just a duplication), please let me know--if I agree with your information (I have much more in my genealogy program), I will create a link. 
 

Please note that all family members born after 1940 
(and their siblings) or those by request have been 
left off of the tree due to security reasons.
