Allied Family


An allied family is one connected by marriage to another which is of primary interest.  A published genealogy focusing on one surname may include extensive information on one or more allied families, especially if those families are connected by marriage to significant bearers of the surname.  Thus, a genealogy of the Lincoln family may include information on the Todd family as well.

Cf. Collateral Ancestor
