Geocache Description:


WELL, ONCE AGAIN I MESSED UP! WEST COORDS SHOULD BE W 121 15, RATHER THAN W 121 16. I CHECK AND CHECK THINGS, BUT STILL MANAGE TO MISS SOMETHING. SORRY ABOUT THAT!

I decided to create a geocache puzzle based on my (fake!) family tree.
My (fake!) mother was adopted, so sadly there is no information about her ancestors.
Just find the correct way to match my family names below to the numbered spots on the tree. (Don't really care about the in-laws!)
Look at the names, in the order of their corresponding numbers, and the info you need for completing these coords should magically appear.

N 38 42.??3 W 121 15.??4
