2 - The Delmont Jones Family Tree



For Watch Tower history we know him as Albert Delmont Jones. However, the names “Albert” “Delmont” and “Jones” are used for a number of people in various partial permutations, including his grandfather, his father, his brother, and also one of his sons who died young. So it is easy for researchers to follow the wrong trail. To further confuse matters, as the previous article indicated, our Albert was to reinvent himself by dropping the common name “Jones,” and adding the name “Royal” to become Albert Royal Delmont.

The starting point for research has to be in the genealogy. We are greatly indebted to the late Ton de Geus who researched a six generation tree for the Delmont Jones family. The earliest rgenerations are reproduced below. I have not personally checked this information, but from long experience corresponding with Ton have no reason to doubt any of it.
