How it is shown: Complete frame (original, unaltered); no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.

Keep in mind: Transcribed (frames 766-782); a first reading was made. Confirmed: the eight children and the ordinals for John (seventh), Jonathan (fifth) and George (second). Likely: Anne (tenth) and Hannah (fifteenth). Not reliably read: the ages for Mary, Nathaniel and William. Date and sum Likely. Tagging the eight to the tree's persons rests on the names and the 1906 register order (Likely).
