An extended family tree for the Swaney family appears here. A second extended family tree for Patricia Louise Chaffin Parks appears here. The trees below indicate only the lines of direct descent to those who died in Jonestown. While they include numerous relatives not associated with Peoples Temple, they also exclude a number of relatives not included in the direct line.
