Family Tree

Six generations from the earliest documented Chelius ancestor to the present. Direct ancestors are shown filled; collateral relatives appear as outlines.

This tree shows the Swedish branch and my direct line. Living relatives are listed only as Living to protect their privacy, and the German branch descending from Hans Otmar Gelius has been omitted entirely. If you are part of this family and would like to be included, you are welcome to get in touch and I will update the page accordingly.
