Several people have suggested that I make an index such as this. I have been hesitant to do so since it does not seem right to emphasise some ancestors over others. They each were special and unique in there own ways, they all contributed to my existance, and thus all of them are important to me. I suspect this shall mostly be of interest to those who visit my website and are not tracing their genealogy.
Immigrant ancestors- Unlike the other categories, this one is listed chronologically rather than by Ahnentafel number:
58. Isaac Turrill, information unclear, but appears to of moved from Canada to Michigan sometime between 1851-1910, possibly previously from New York.
50. Gilbert Mero, Born in Quebec, moved around between Quebec, Ontario, & Ohio before moving lastly from Canada to Morley, Michigan sometime between 1861-1875.
48. William J. Allison, Immigrated from Ontario to Morley, Michigan sometime between 1843-1869, though other source says after 1871.
124. Peter Marinus Vincent Heyse. Immigrant from Belgium sometime between his birth in 1839 and his enlistment in the US Navy in 1861. Lived in Michigan by at least 1870 (likely earlier).
54, 55, 110, & 111. John Hansen, Fredenricka Henritta Lauritzen, Hans Lauritzen, Karen Marie Nielson. Denmark to Morley, Michigan 1860 onboard the Hammonia.
NOTE: one of the above immigrants to Michigan is my most recent immigrant ancestor in terms of most recent chronologically, somewhere between 1860-1910 (or either 1860 or 1861 if you limit it to trans-oceanic immigration).
Immigrant ancestors, continued:
32, 33, & 66. John B. Weatherup, Margaret Houston, & Robert Houston. From Antrim, Ireland to Westfield, Chatauqua Co., NY sometime between 1837-1859.

38. Frederick Christopher / Christoph Friederich Geistdörfer, from Württemberg, German Confederation to either Titusville, Pennsylvania or Buffalo, New York, 1851 or earlier.
NOTE: #19 is my most recent immigrant ancestor in terms of most recent by relationship (My Great-Great Grandmother), all-other immigrant ancestors are 3rd Great Grandparents or further distant. Her (age 4), her mother (#39), and siblings are all on an 1851 ships list, but her father (#38) is not - presumably he came over prior to the rest of the families immigration.

6212. Thomas Southworth. England to Leyden, South Holland sometime between 1590-1613.
814288896 John Scott, Scotland to England c. 1100-1135.
NOTE: The earliest date for any of my ancestor's on this side of the Atlantic is June 22nd, 1629 - Samuel Sharp(e)'s arrival in Massachusetts aboard the George Bonaventure. Also, the first records for Van Salee and Re(i/y)niers in New Amsterdam pop-up in 1629/1630 (which means they could of been in New Amsterdam prior to that date as well). Further, the Spragg and/or Southard/Southworth lines could potentially have been (but were likely not) in New York/New Amsterdam as early as 1616 (the latest dates given for those lines in England and Holland, respectively). Web sources indicating Ann Russell as being in Farmington, CT in 1607/8 seem rather unlikely since A) her son's didn't arrive here till a few decades after that, and B) Farmington wasn't settled by whites until 1640. Of course, if my Mullinax 6th Great Grandmother was Native American, that would make the whole issue somewhat pointless to figure out.
