Most of the children of George and Mary Ann Dollin married and had children of their own. However, on this website we will only follow the direct descendants of my grandfather, Norman Dollin, through the fourth and fifth generations. We invite the descendants of Norman's fourteen brothers and sisters to present their own family trees and histories on their own websites!
