Roper-Quincannon Family Tree

NOTE: My brother, Tom Reagan, and his wife, Lisa Konopka Reagan, had a very detailed family tree done last year and shared it among the family. Jim Kellner, Lisa's uncle, did the research and writing. 

The images cannot be copied from the pdf document, though, so I have left out copies of census forms and photographs. I will post information from other branches of the tree in the future.

I have made a few deletions in the text, such as the numbers next to people listed, though I had trouble deleting some of them.

But all of the credit belongs to Jim.
