notes: Much has been written about Luke and his descendants. This lineage
is one of the most documented of our families, and there are several
interesting narratives.
Rather than repeat these narratives, I have chosen to merely put
in one place the collective family trees that descend from Luke, so that
we may clearly see how we are related. My lineage is through his son, Mark.
The ancestry of Luke himself is debateable, and many await proof,
or at least, convincing evidence.
