Under A Spreading Fulbright Tree

William L. Fulbright, a retired FBI official of Huntington Station, NY compiled an extensive genealogical chart that showed the following:

Johan Volbrecht had three sons; His three sons had 10 sons; Johan's 10 grandsons had 67 children, 37 documented great-grandsons; there were 180 or so great-great-grandchildren (48 males with descendants). Johan had 40 great-great-great-grandsons with progeny on the chart.

A conservative projection suggests there are literally thousands of Fulbrights around today, kinfolks to one degree or another.

She recently registered two sons and three daughters for membership in the Fulbright Family Associa-tion. Dolores Marie (Buckingham) and Patricia Patti M. (Lee) live in Vancouver, WA. Joan Louise (Wilson) lives in Bellevue, across Lake Washington at Seattle. Edward Joseph is at Mill Creek , just north of Seattle. James Leonard lives in Alvin, TX, south of Houston. Nellie Jane's children have provided her with sixteen grandchildren.
