Christian Moyer: Robin's Roots

1676 - 1751 (75 years)

TNG Descendant Charts

Please note that you don't have to depend on these descriptions; you can quickly try out each of the chart types.

Graphical formats

"Standard" charts have a marvelous graphical format and show a fair amount of data for each person, but they generate so much whitespace that they tend to be wider than the screen (or a printed page) They tend to be hard to read and almost impossible to print if you generate more than three or four generations of data.
"Compact" charts have similar graphical layout, and are easier to read and print, but don't display any data other than each person's name.
Note that if you want to print a "Compact" chart with more than three or four generations of data, you should probably specify "Landscape" orientation when you print.
The "PDF chart" is kind of a cross between the standard and compact formats, generated as a PDF. On most computers, any web page can be printed as a PDF, but this PDF format handles page breaks for specific paper sizes, wheras PDF printouts of web pages just run the text through the page breaks

(The graphical charts' connecting lines sometimes disappear at certain zoom level. When they are missing, you can use you mouse scroll whell or hit control-plus or control-minus to change the zoom level.)

Text formats

"Text" charts follow a standard outline-style format that provides more (i.e. denser) data than the graphical charts do.
"Text+" charts are kind of a cross between the graphical and text formats. They can display much more data in less space than graphical charts or the "Text" chart. (That's good news and bad news). In particular, they requires much less horizontal scrolling, and can accommodate large charts in one printed page width (albeit sometimes with legal-sized paper in landscape mode). They are also much more flexible than the other formats, with several (perhaps too many) run-time options.
However,
- The process of printing a Text+ chart can be a bit daunting, and
- When you are looking at just a few generations, and when enough data is visible on the screen, the graphical charts tend to be easier to read.
"Register" charts are detailed descriptive reports. They contain almost all of the data that I have for each person, including free-form notes. But they aren't really 'charts' in the normal sense, and don't give this kind of overview of the family tree that the other charts give.
"Count" charts don't list descendants at all; they just show how many descendants a person has, broken out by generation.

Generation: 1

Christian Moyer was born in 1676 in Palatinate; died in 1751 in Franconia, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried in Delps Cemetery, Harleysville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA.

Arrival: 1710, New York, New York County, New York, USA; very speculative

Notes:

Christian Moyer was born in 1678, reportedly in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and settled near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (He may have come from nearby Wurttemberg). He is my 8x great grandfather, though my Richmond, Wattenbarger, Barger, and Reiff lines.

He is not (as far as I know) related to Christopher Moyers, who was also born in Rhineland-Palatinate, in 1708, and settled in Germantown, Orange County, Virginia. (His father, George, was born in nearby Wurttemberg.) Christopher is my 6xgreat-grandfather, through my Richmond, Hutcheson, and Myers/Moyers lines.

The two lines intersect with my grandparents, Clarence Richmond (descendant of Christian Moyer) and Edith Hutcheson (descendant of Christopher Moyers).

Their wives also came from Rhineland-Palatinate:

Christian Moyer: Anna Barbara Bergery from Rhineland-Palatinate, and

Christian Zetty

(14.Barbara³, 2.Barbara², 1.Christian¹) was born in 1762 in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA; died in 1841 in Washington County, Tennessee, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

Residence: 1814, Washington County, Tennessee, USA
Residence: 1840, Washington County, Tennessee, USA
Probate: 8 Nov 1841, Washington County, Tennessee, USA

Notes:

Evidently, two Christian Zettys were born in Pennsylvania in the early 1760s, and both married women named Barbara. Thus, many records and trees conflate the two men. Our Christian was born in 1762, and moved to Rockingham County, Virginia with his parents, and he married Barbara Miller there. I do not know when he moved to Tennessee. The other Christian Zetty remained in Pennsylvania, and is mentioned in many Bucks County records.
