Ballard Family TreeDisclaimer:

What you are about to watchis a pictorial representation of the Ballards.

Information was gleamed from an old family tree, family photographs, some family input & my parents’ knowledge

With that said,my perception of relationships may be flawed!

So please, let me know where I’ve erred ‘cause this is a work in progress

Branching Out to Six Generations

We are all gathered together today to celebrate

Our Ballard/Johnston roots

This presentation pays homage to our humble beginnings

and includes all known contributors

to the Ballard line extending out to six generations

Some individuals have passed on,

A few have moved away from the family,

And others were only in our lives for a short time,

And you know that better or worse part

But all members of our Ballard/Johnston clan stand accounted for and

are important

Regardless of...and because of….

So be prepared for a bit of sadness, some surprises and, hopefully, an enjoyable

trip down memory lane……

Without further adieu,

Let’s begin with THE MOST important couple of all ----

George Ballard and Ada Johnston

Because without them, we would not be here in this moment in time!

In the Beginning…..
