Living family branch — founder-supplied (for the extended-family KIN)
Ben = ahn 1. Dad = John Herman Wilson (ahn 2). Mom = Brenda Gibby (ahn 3).
Ben's sibling (rel: sibling_of ahn 1)
- Anne Wilson (b. 1993) — Ben's only sibling → "your sister". m. Bryce Miller (b. 1992) in 2019. [Bryce = brother-in-law; Banyan Rehab as of 7/2026, ex-Teladoc; they live in RI, Ben's parents live with them — see [[user_extended_family_map]].]
Maternal side (mom = Brenda Gibby, ahn 3)
- NONE — mom had no siblings. No maternal aunts/uncles/cousins.
Paternal side (dad = John Herman Wilson, ahn 2) — dad's siblings = Ben's aunts/uncles
- Danny Wilson ("Uncle Dan") — ALREADY on the tree (GROUPS person, no ahn). Add rel: sibling_of ahn 2 → "your uncle". Adoption: adopted (probably) — loved family, not blood; founder unsure whether it was Dan or Florence. Living.
- Aunt Florence (Wilson) Atwood — dad's living sister → "your aunt". m. Dr Charlie Atwood (Bradenton FL area; met at Sewanee; med school UAB; now a sleep doctor at University of Pittsburgh). Adoption: possibly Florence (vs Dan) — uncertain; loved family.
- Fun fact: Ben's family couldn't attend Florence's wedding because Ben was being born; they announced the marriage AND becoming aunts/uncles at the reception.
- Aunt Anne (Wilson) Harper — dad's living sister → "your aunt". m. Kevin Harper (live in Baltimore; career in finance + some IT at T. Rowe Price, now retired). NOTE: two Annes — Ben's SISTER Anne Wilson (b.1993) vs his AUNT Anne Harper (dad's sister). Do not conflate. Adopted (per founder, uncertain which of Dan/Anne/Florence).
First cousins (children of the aunts) — rel: child_of the aunt → "your first cousin"
Florence Atwood's kids:
- Catherine Atwood — has lived in Japan her whole adult life; recently married a British expat she met there.
- Sarah Atwood — social worker in Pittsburgh. Anne Harper's kids:
- James Harper — runs his own photography business in the Baltimore area; recently married, no kids.
- David Harper — lives in Colorado; has hiked all the big North American trails; recently married, no kids.
Fun facts (for the atlas / person-page color)
- At one point in the year (between Ben's sister Anne's and cousin Sarah's birthdays) the six cousins line up in age exactly 6-5-4-3-2-1. "We're 30 years offset now though." (The six cousins = Ben, sister Anne, + Catherine, Sarah, James, David... plus one — confirm the sixth; likely Ben + Anne + the 4 Atwood/Harper cousins = 6.)
- Florence's wedding / Ben's birth coincidence above.
Integration notes (for the KIN build)
- Add a
living:trueflag; living people render with the living treatment (bar to NOW + long fade + arrow), NOT an estimated death (do NOT set ed for living people). - relLabel needs new cases: sibling_of ahn 1 → "your sister/brother" (currently mislabels as aunt/uncle); first cousin = child_of a person whose rel is sibling_of ahn 2 or 3 → "your first cousin"; spouse (Bryce, Charlie, Kevin, cousin spouses) → married-in label ("your brother-in-law" / "your uncle by marriage" / "married into the family").
- Adoption: show as "adopted — loved family" on the card; do NOT draw a descent line implying a blood link for adopted members. Blood-vs-adopted uncertainty (Dan vs Anne vs Florence) stated honestly.
- Birth years known for: Anne Wilson 1993, Bryce 1992. Others (aunts, uncles, cousins) — birth years unknown from this message; ask founder or estimate from context (aunts ~1950s-60s given dad b.~1956; cousins ~1980s-90s given the 6-cousins-lineup). For the timeline they need a birth anchor — either ask founder for rough years or estimate + tag.
