[NOTE: The Renion web-card display of a genealogy database presents
information in two formats: Person Sheets and Family Cards.  These
show the same information, except Person Sheets can have also notes
relating to an individual.  The database can be navigated from
either Person Sheets or Family Cards by clicking on highlighted
names.

If viewing a Person Sheet, to shift to a Family Card format, click
on "Web Family Card" in the bottom line of the display.  If viewing
a Family Card, to shift to the corresponding Person Sheet, click
on the name of either husband or wife (bold large-point text).

The bottom line of the display has clickable links to an index of
all entries in the database and to a list of surnames.]

Web-Cards-Ruud12-050708-GED

These web cards display a database of descendants and ancestors of
Carl Oliver Ruud and Eloise McKay Ruud and of their siblings and
cousins, assembled by their son, Frederick Olin Ruud.  The database
has 4470 records.  It was obtained on 05/07/2008, as a GED file.
The data can be accessed at www.familysearch.org.



Web-Cards-kendigall-stripped-sources

The database displayed in these web cards is a merge of two databases:
(1) a genealogical tree of Kendig ancestors and relatives compiled
by Harry Mortimer Rupley (HMR), probably based on information from
his grandmother, Mary Magdalena (Martha) Kendig Rupley (MMKR); and
(2) a large database of Kendig descendants compiled by Thomas E.
Kendig, principal of Kendig Light Industries (KLI).

The HMR data are given in Vol. 3 of Samuel Kendig Rupley papers
(see below).  There are 321 entries.

The KLI data used in the merge are from a master file, "kedigall.ged"
downloaded on 02/21/2009 from www.kendig.info, with 9294 records
of Kendig ancestors, descendants, and relatives (some distant).
The file was reduced to 1713 records by eliminating all not direct
descendants or ancestors of John Jacob Kundig (Kendig) b. 1693 and
by rationalizing some duplicate records.  All source references
were stripped.

The merged database has flags (KLI and HMR) indicating the source
of each record.  There are 1960 records. Ca. 250 records (Kendig
descendants) are from the HMR data and are not in the KLI database.
For the ca. 70 records for which the KLI and HMR sources overlap,
flags indicate if the sources differ.

[NOTE: The gedcom file "kedigall.ged" available currently (06/30/2011),
at http://home.comcast.net/~tomkendig/roots/kendigall/index.htm,
has 4405 entries.]



Web-Cards-rupley-kendig-4

The database "rupley-kendig-4", with 323 records, is a selective
merge of the following: (1) the database "kendigall-stripped-sources"
(see above), itself a merge of data from HMR and KLI; (2) ancestors
of John Jacob Rupley, the father of Samuel Rupley, from the LDS
site www.familysearch.org; (3) genealogical data recorded by Allen
Shurter Rupley (ASR), given in Vol. 3 of SKR papers (see below);
(4) ancestors of Ila Eloise Ruud Rupley (IER), from the database
"Ruud12-050708-GED" (see above); (5) data on the ancestors of
Juliette Zanker Rupley (JZR), wife of ASR, from interviews of JZR
with IER.

The selection of records for inclusion in the database is as follows:
(1) Samuel Kendig Rupley (SKR) and his wife Mary Magdalena Kendig
Rupley (MMKR) are the center point of ancestor and descendant trees;
(2) include only direct ancestors of SKR and MMKR and their siblings
and spouses, e.g., aunts and uncles of SKR, great-aunts and
great-uncles, etc., but not cousins of SKR and MMKR; (3) include
siblings of SKR and MMKR and their spouses; (4) include descendants
of SKR and their spouses, occasionally with ancestral records for
spouses and their cousins.

This database is likely to be expanded in the future, e.g., with
ancestral records for more spouses of descendants of SKR, and with
additional details for records already in the database.

[The other two databases of this directory (see above) are unlikely
to change significantly.]
