BIG ASSUMPTIONS
for
MY NORTON/SPARKS
LINE
Updated December 29, 2001
The following is a descendant chart based on intuition, guesses, and just "gut feeling". The purpose of this chart is creating something in writing that others can RIP APART. For years I have filed hundreds of pages of information on Nortons and related families, but since there has been no documentation, nothing has been created to try to tie all of them together... So..... If you can document errors, or agreements, please let me know. Also, if you would like for your email address to included for others interested in this line to contact let me know........
