Use the Comments section to add information, for example, naming individuals and or places in the slideshow and telling more about the story of the people you see. This is a kind of commentary to that Youtube presentation. I will finish it at some time in the future—it is about half done.

If you want to add something, first state your connection to Clem Battle, his brother John Battle, or his father Jack Battle. If you are connected by marriage, state your spouse’s connection. If you are related to Anna Battle, who was born Anna Frances Whalen or to Lena Battle, who was born Helena (Lena) Whalen, explain your connection. Of course, friends and neighbors are welcome to use this site. I want you to write information about Clem Battle’s family history. Feel free to add important facts.

Keep in mind that family lineage is traced through shared grandparents. Start by stating who you are and describing your connection to a grandparent within the Battle or Farrell or Whalen or Kehoe clan, for example: Clem Battle is my great grandfather. When you make this clear, someone else can say Clem Battle is my great great grandfather, and the two of you can trace your relationship. You may find an answer like this:

6th cousin: If your great-grandfather is Clem Battle and your cousin’s great-great-grandfather is also Clem Battle, you are 6th cousins, 2x removed. This means you share great-grandparents, with a one-generation difference between you and your cousin’s great-great-grandparents.

This work is about my generation. I am John Charles Battle, thirteenth and last born of George Clement Battle, who grew up in Paris, Michigan, and Anna Frences Battle, who was born Anna Frances Whalen in Ontario, Canada.

Other generations of our family and the family of Uncle John Farrell Battle are at times included in this project; however, next generations and the extended Battle clan are not my priority. Showing the Clem Battle family and telling our story, in a mostly positive light, are my focus.

A consistent point of view is important in a project like this. The point of view for this project is entirely mine. When I write Uncle Paddy Whalen, that Uncle Paddy (Patrick) is my mother’s brother. I do not know what his connection is to you—and I hardly care, but I will do my job by making it very clear what my connection is to him. That is the one thing that must always be clear: someone’s connection to me—then, anyone can take it from there and deal with lineage, determine what level of cousin, lay out the family tree. Do not confuse the narrative here by writing from a different point of view—unless you do what I indicated above: Make your connection to the Clem Battle family very, very clear.
