The District as a Network

The district was a web of people and claims, not a scatter of symbols. Each line below is a sourced relationship — discovered, worked, owned, leased, married-into — between 39 people, mines, and places, drawn from 31 records. Drag a node, click it for detail, or filter by family. Connections are never inferred from a shared surname alone.
