Most of you know that the Summers Saga being written is intended to go from the first U.S. Summers in my wife's line, Thomas Summers of Delaware, down to John William Summers and Verne Crabtree of Southeast Missouri, her grandparents, and their descendants. But sometimes diagrams are a little more explanatory than is prose. So here is the familial line that comprises the book's skeleton:

Omitted from the chart are grandkids and great grandkids of John
and Verne, many of whom will appear in the book. Also appearing will be the siblings,
spouses, etc of all these people as well as some Duckworths, Dillards, Lambs, Crabtrees, Funkhausers, and other strays. You'll have to read the book to see
how all these fit in.
Since the book ends with the descendants of John and Verne Crabtree Summers and because the last place John, Verne, and their five children lived as a unit for any significant time was Wittenberg, Missouri, I am going to call this the "Wittenberg Summers Line."
The chart above shows the book's familial journey. Here is the geographic journey:
