Facebook is a social phenomenon that is bringing more and more distant relatives together. This Champion Family Album website has also contributed to that in a small way. I’m often hearing the question “Now how am I related to him (or her)?” To help answer that question, I’m trying to compile a list of all descendants of John Franklin and Ida Bell Champion as a convenient reference point.
I think my record is complete through generation #11 (except for spouses in some cases). To get generation #12 and beyond, I have a contact with every family except one - Aunt Mildred Champion Gibson Gonzales. If anyone knows how to contact any of her children or grandchildren, please let me know.
Generation numbers are consistent with generation numbers on Champion Lineage.
Maiden names are in (parenthesis).
Spouses are designated by “+”.
