Some care is needed in traversing the 11 generations of the Joy tree, as from G9 (Robert Joy) until today, 7 are named 'William' and 3 'Robert', the only exception being 'Abel'!
Apart from some more details of dates and places, the following family tree shows almost all that is known about the family up until Abel. Hopefully we will be able to fill in some more details in the future.
