This scan of the chart was made on October 30, 2010. I plan to update it from time to time and will note the date of the most recent scan.
Please notify me of names and dates that are missing on the chart.
Below I describe the main features of the chart to help you understand it.
Running down the left side you will see the names of all the Bagdes brothers and sisters. That is our link. We are all Bagdes'.
The family of Alexander and Rosalia Rachis Bagdes is stretched out across the top of the chart for two reasons:
1. The Alex and Rose family was way too big to put elsewhere!
Rosalia Rachis Bagdes is connected to MY family in addition to my Bagdes connection with Alexander and Karolina being brother and sister. If you look at the middle top, you will see Rosalia's father and his five wives. Rosalia and my maternal grandmother, Maryanna were the children of Stanislaw Racis and his fourth wife. If you follow Rosalia's entry all the way down through the middle of the chart, you will find her sister, Maryanna. Maryanna and Stanislaw Dapsis had Agnes as their oldest daughter. Agnes Dapsis married Kashmir Waitkus, my parents, thus the special line across the lower half of the chart. They are cousins, but not in an improper bloodline. I made this chart in1990 at the occasion of my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and have kept it up ever since.
