The index, divided into three parts for quicker loading, lists every descendant in the family tree. It will eventually be linked to other pages on this site, so that you can look at the index to see if a person is mentioned in a will or deed, if I have a census record or obituary for him, etc.
I would like to mention that I do not distinguish between the two current spellings of the Cavenaugh
surname. I prefer to use "Cavenaugh" instead of "Cavanaugh" because the former is more common in records, and also
because it helps to distinguish Silvester's line from most other Cavanaugh families in the United States. It should
be remembered that spelling has historically been based on pronunciation, which is why the same name shows up
in records as Cavenaugh, Cavanaugh, Cavenoh, Cavenoe, Cavener, Cavnor, Cavender, etc.
