In a perfect Teeple family history, we would all descend from one immigrant ancestor and we could all trace our lines, well-documented of course, right back to him!

     Right now, however, there are literally dozens of separate lineages that need to be characterized in some logical way. In the chart below, they will be described by earliest known ancestor, dates, spouse, and location. Except for those early NJ families with evidence from a will or bible record, the speculative NJ lineages are not represented. Some names are clickable; you may follow them to further info.

     Although this chart format may not the most helpful arrangement - there are no follow-up generations - it is, however, one way to demonstrate the range of our historical problems.
