Alternate Pedigrees

Since I'm not entirely sure whose ancestor of Leaffie Knutson is the actual relation, here's some other alternatives. As a 3rd cousin, Clara and Leaffie had the same great-great-grandparents. That's a total of 8 possible great-great-grandfathers. However, because of common ancestry, there are actually only six unique ones.
