SITE MAP
Because of the Bulk involved in the Historical Pages  providing the background of experience for the geneological study pages themselves, this Site Map is offered through the guidance of editor James D Swope II.
This is of most use for the Historical Pages, the Indexes by State  of which are found on this page.
All the Historically oriented pages contain links to the surnames, individuals and  / or immigrant groups involved in their texts.
This Map outlines the progression of the Within The Vines site from Geneological Study pages to the Historical Pages.
1a) Our Europeans  1b) Our American Immigrants  1c ) Historical Pages
Further detail of content within 1a) Our Europeans  1b) Our American Immigrants is offered in the color coded map.

1 ) WITHIN THE VINES
Within the Vines is linked from Cynthia Swope's Homepage 
Within The Vines  is a Geneological study of two Alpha Surname groups [The Howard and  Allied and the Swope and Allied ancestral Groups]   divided into: 
Pages devoted to the Study of Our Ancestors of America of both groups [Our American Immigrants] and 
Pages devoted to the Study of Our Ancestors of Europe of both groups  [Our Europeans] 

To Within the Vines  Homepage


1a ) OUR EUROPEANS
Provides Identification of the Nations of Origin for our American Immigrants with relevant national history  leading to emmigration, maps of regional residence of the last of each surname line known present in those nations,  Surname specific studies, the advancing European ascendancy of our American Immigrants involving surnames direct to us but which are not part of Our American 
Immigrant Surname groups,  and the gargantuan  study of our Peers and Royals Within the Vines relevant to both the American Howard Allied ascendancy via Logan married to Dundas  in Europe and the American Swope  Allied ascendancy via McCurdy married to Stewart  in Europe.

To Our Europeans Within the Vines Titlepage


1b ) OUR AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS
Our American Immigrants  provides geneological study of all direct line Americans, their spouses, their children and the  children's own spouses and children.  Our American Immigrants are organized in several different  ways but all link to the individual American geneology study pages described.
All direct line American Residents are organized  and  belong to either 
the Howard Aligned Surame Group  or 
the Swope Aligned Surname Group
Together these groups form all direct line American residents in both Alpha Surname Groups,
There are pages where these Alpha Surname Groups mesh one to the other geneologically [towards the present day] or in terms of Historical Context relevant to the Surname groups through time .

Ic )HISTORICAL PAGES WITHIN THE VINES
Within the Vines seeks to provide an understanding of the regions and history experienced by each direct forebear and immigrant group found in the geneology portion of the site.  Historical Pages are numerous  and within each of them are  links to the    surnames , individuals  and immigrant groups involved in the historical text and / or affected by the historical contexts.  Generally these pages are State and/ or County specific. Sometimes they are otherwise specific, but for purposes of organization are found  within the state specific indexes. 
There are pages  relevant to an immigrant group defined by Country of Origin [ie The relationship between the Scotch Irish and Germans of Penna], Religion [ie Mennonite, Lutheran, Reformed , Quaker, Presbyterian ],  Settlement experience [ie the Manors of Pennsylvania,  York town  Penna and the York they knew ],   Military History  [ie Revolutionary Service, Civil War Service, World War Service ] or specific  characteristic [ie Slave Holding] . Historical pages also include descriptions of the regions involved at time of contact and immediately after, and so involve pages devoted to the Native Americans known to our Forebears.  In some instances the native Americans played such a crucial role to individuals in our pages as to demand in depth study, as in the Powhatan Confederacy pages relevant to our Jamestown Virginia Woodson line in the Howard and Allied Study. 
Because of the massive number of pages involved in the above described effort  and the fluid movement within the pages allowing one to too easily get lost on a tangent [as reported by the author's editor J D Swope, II]  all historical pages  have been indexed.
