The Truth... What is it?





Family Tree

  • Names & characteristics of  The Generations in the USA.
      
  • The various Shaw family lines in South Carolina, HERE.
      
  • ***Master File Family Tree Data (discontinued): all of the below lines & much more, including a master index of over 10,000 Sumter, S. C. and other names in my computer file [as of 6 September2002]. I have discontinued this file for now (as of 2 Aug. 2016). Here is how it started off:

    "Introduction:
    Our Shaw Scotch-Irish heritage has been tremendously influenced by our ancestors' dedication to the cause of being disciples of, and spreading the Gospel of, Jesus of Nazareth, the only begotten son of the God of Abraham (see the Coming to America Story I've posted at http://poptop.hypermart.net/bigstory.html.

    I've been motivated and enabled to launch this web site and family tree resource in the sole, bottom-line hope that any visitor to my website might somehow note Jesus on one or more website pages and be willing to seek more about Him (the rest of my site has a lot of Christian information).

  • Because of concerns over identity theft, the above genealogy website (now discontinued) had been made "private" for those still living & does not contain my entire collection of info on each of the over 15,000 names (as of 10/24/05). I am especially eager to add in all SHAW families with a South Carolina connection...as reflected on this page http://poptop.hypermart.net/shawlines.html. However you got to this genealogy web site page, I hope you will check out this message http://www.theeffectivetruth.info/opportune.html & the site index from the home page http://www.theeffectivetruth.info and note the religious topics and check them out.
    May God bless you! Ervin Shaw, M. D.    "

  • My 40+ page story on this same website of my 4th-great-grandfather's immigration to South Carolina in 1700's and what life was like from 1732-1950...click here.
      

IMPORTANT CONTEXT: There is genetic input into each human from each of 2 Parents, each of 4 grandparents, each of 8 great-grandparents, each of 16 2nd-great-grandparents, each of 32 3rd-great-grandparents, each of 64 4th-great-grandparents...and so on, doubling the number each generation further back into the past. A person's FULL genealogy is an amazing complex of diversity in genetic input!!! BUT, the socio-cultural (NOTE) input is much more focused the input from parents & grandparents and their surrounding culture.
