Ellen White's descendants

[LynnDel]

A little over a year ago I went to a presentation by one of EGW's grandsons at the St. Helena, CA, church, and he told all about the White family and some of the collateral lines. He shared a family tree that was complete from EGW to his generation (he was probably about 70). I was amazed to see how the family had multiplied! But I suppose most families multiply like that; it's not often you get to see the names all spread out before you.I regret that I no longer have my copy of the family tree that he shared with us.

Hiya Cuz!!!  

 

dAb is right - Find-A-Grave is a good place to start.  Sometimes the info on the memorial isn't correct, though, so even there, you need to pay attention to see if the data matches up with other info out there.

I had done a "brief" tree on Ellen White's family, just for the fun of it....mostly on her ancillary lines to see what they did.  From what I recall, it appeared that very, very few of her relatives became SDA, though there were some who were ministers in other denominations.  

I love working with family trees and finding stories on long-gone individuals that turns the dry bones back into living memories!

I always wondered what happened to her descendants, whether they are still in the church or not.

[LynnDel]

It's a mixture.

I recently learned a bit of my family history trivia involving a EGW descendant.  When my father and mother got married in 1947, a friend of my father was supposed to be the photographer but did not show up. Consequently there are no known photographs from their wedding day.  The friend was a great-grandson of Ellen White.

This is as close to a wedding picture that we have.  It was taken a few months later.

​The guy who started Round Table Pizza, well know in the land of LynnDel, was a grandson of EGW, later on in life he 'got it' and understood. He also sold the chain.

I have one anscestor of eight generations above me (oops, got my fingers out and counted them up to only 6 generations!) and he has 30,000 cataloged descendents. A large number, including my grandfather down, are not even listed.

I forget the name of the White grandson who was the CEO of Round Table, but I heard him speak at the Modesto Adventist Academy graduation one year. I'm guessing that was in the late 80s.
