The Jeffries/Anderson Family of Phoenix Arizona. This page contains Jeffries,Anderson,Demarest,Bidwell,Cowden, and many more.
The Anderson name is hard to trace back because the practice of patronymics, making the first name your last name and adding a son. So as you can see it changes almost every generation until coming to America. The furthest back I find is Anders Kjærsgaard (actual Danish spelling).
This database is a constant work in process.I am updating it as I find new information to add.I think it is getting close to having the correct information and dates.If you find any problems, errors, corrections, or information to be added please e-mail me.
RELATIONSHIP EXPLANATION
Second Cousin - Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you., but not the same grandparents.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins - Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.
Removed - used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship.
Once removed - mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed."
Twice removed -means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.
Thank You
