About The Reabows & Associated Families
This site features mostly direct lines of association - with some extension into Diane Webber's maternal line, Ann Promnitz's paternal line, and Barbara Reabow's maternal line.  Where siblings and other interesting members of the family have been included, it has only been done so if there are relevant documents confirming their relationship to the direct line.

Progenitor
/prə(ʊ)ˈdʒɛnɪtə/
a person or thing from which a person, animal, or plant is descended or originates; an ancestor or parent.
In genealogy, the progenitor is the founder of a family, line of descent, clan or tribe, noble house, or ethnic group. Genealogy understands a progenitor to be the earliest recorded ancestor of a consanguineous family group of descendant.  
In this case, the first of the line to land on the shores of southern Africa, even though the tree may extend further back in time.
