With such a large number of people listed covering quite a few generations it is very difficult to know whether or not your tree might be correct. I have however removed several names and details of recent people in accordance with Rootschat policy.
Usually, a printed tree of this sort has indents and more than just generation numbers to make it easier to follow. Have a look at the suggestions here-

I'm not sure if you read my reply earlier but I can't see the point of these posts as you've several threads which have discussed these families already-
Douglas family
Hill family
Martin family
Martin family on someone else's Dublin thread
McCauley, Co.Antrim
McCauley, Ardymaugh
another McCauley thread

Does genealogical research need to have a qualified point?  The
McCauley family of Ardymaugh is my line and there is no proven relationship to the Macaulay family of Layd, Cushendall.  However, if
you are aware of the connection I would be extremely interested.

My posts are primarily to offer other researchers information that they may otherwise not have.  At the same time, I offer other researchers the chance to comment on my posts.  It would be rather selfish of me to have information and not be willing to share it, don't you think.

And yes, I read your earlier reply, but I disagree with the formatting that you suggested.  Personally, from experience, I prefer the way I do it.  As this little note has used up a wee bit of my public computer time I do hope that I have made a  point.

You've asked for comments on your posts here which is why I mentioned formatting the information differently when dealing with such a large number of individuals and generations. From your 1st post here it did sound as though you were asking for corrections and help rather than just posting the details you have for these families so far. I certainly agree with sharing information and it would be lovely if others who've researched these families can get in touch with you to exchange information but please remember that different posts going over the same details cause needless confusion and duplication for those wo are trying to help you.

Thank you both for bringing all this information to my notice.

I shall print off and take to bed tonight to read through

......really love the side winding genealogy

and the ability to share ...................

 especially as they must have taken many long hours and years to find these records in numerous records offices.

Thank you Pablo
Think you and I Pablo shall be speaking real soon.
