If possibly of interest, this is the overall outcome, as things stand.
It was never intended to be anything other than an exercise, with no particular objective except curiosity and I wondered how far back it might reach.
Having extended both backwards in time and incorporating many more offshoots than originally envisaged, it provides a concise synopsis of the historical perspective and conceivable 'DNA' influences - "it was in his blood"...
Whether or not anyone subscribes to that belief, one aspect which may be striking, is the inherent religious division.
Whilst his father's ancestral roots, incorporate various historical tangents of the staunch Protestant movement and its religious consensus, his mother's ancestral home seems to be established around the city of Dublin, Ireland and a deep-rooted, Catholic devotion.
There are some notable historical figures within Fort's colonial ancestry and fascinating reading attached to related profiles.
All of this material results from investigations undertaken by others, researching their own family history.
In turn, I have endeavoured to pull all of the existing material together and also located a considerable number of new ancestral links
The entire lineage, in context, has been downloaded as a 'GEDcom' file, which can be uploaded to ancestral research websites, or viewed via a 'read only' app.
It is neither perfect, nor complete and I might revisit this again, in due course.
Perhaps not for quite a while though, as the research, especially identifying erroneous data, inadvertently uploaded by others, can be a tediously slow process.
Meantime, the file is available on my website:

Should Charles Fort have had access to all encompassed therein, one can imagine he might not have seen daylight for a couple of days and would have been absolutely rivetted!
