Introduction

When I first started numbering FFA charts, I included both male and female lines; hence, this female line of a former FFA member. I’ve decided to keep these female lines in place so as not to confuse the numbering system.

As soon as the FFA finds the parents of Elizabeth, this chart will no longer be maintained, but continue with her parent’s chart. Hopefully, it will connect into another male chart. Elizabeth French’s parents seem not to be found anywhere. If you find more data, please email marafrench@mindspring.com.
