Family lines, evidence, and ancestry limits
I am Jeffery “Jake” Guin, and these are the ancestral connections I am documenting as my family history. This selective, expandable tree shows how I trace each line to myself. Click a person to reveal the next direct descendant and the other parent of that child. This is a research map—not a comprehensive family tree or a claim that every line is proven.
Reading the tree: ● orange markers indicate disputed or incomplete evidence. Only direct lines are expanded; spouses and other parents are named alongside the relevant child. My name appears at the end of the documented paths; other living relatives’ personal information is not displayed.

Research branch 4 / 4 · two converging lines
Coincoin and Marie Louise (Mariotte) · Cane River
Two sisters, two documented working paths to Onesyine Rachal. Both are shown separately to make the pedigree convergence visible; the common descendants are intentionally repeated in this comparative view.
Marie Thérèse Coincoin · through Dominique Metoyer
The Creole Heritage Center pedigree and published Coincoin investigation establish the working descent through Dominique. Parentage above Coincoin remains at the research boundary; dates and individual links require source-by-source citation.

Marie Louise (Mariotte) · through Marie Zeline Lecour
Marie Louise is Coincoin’s sister, not her daughter. This path converges with the Dominique branch through Onesyine Rachal; the names are taken from the published Coincoin research profile. Their shared parents require confirmation from the original pedigree.
