The Common Room / Re: 33 generation tree

My goodness!  That has put a dampener on the works.   Yes I am sure you are right and I wonder why anyone would bother to try when the end result is impossible.

Nevertheless I could not be happier right now because having had my DNA tested, I have found my paternal Grandfather and a new family.  Just so sad that my Dad did not ever know.

Still I will keep my folders, gaze at their contents and enjoy reading of so many lives, regardless of their degree of provable facts.

Thankyou to you all,
Annette

Hi bitzar,

I guess you may be one of many with Rollo at the top of the tree.   No I do not have the skull-splitter in my branches but I will share the fruity wine by the same name with you.

My tree must branch off somewhere. I have Rollo, William 1, Richard 1,Richard 11,Robert 1, Good old William the Conqueror then Henry 1.
That is the first few. If you want to go further let me know.

Well here's to Rollo,

Annette

Hello Rena,

What a great idea!   My calligraphy is woeful so something else had to be done.   With so many little folk I am definitely doing just a direct - with no siblings tree in small printing and I will be happy.

Your ideas are super and I would love to hear how it all turns out.  The table cloth sounds exciting too.
Good for you!

Thankyou for your post.
Annette

Hello Stan,
An interesting article.   I have decided  not to list all the siblings way back although the ones attached to those Kings and their mistresses made eyebrow raising reading. 
Thankyou for your imput.
Regards,  Annette

To All,

My apologies' for having given you all such a time with my ancestors.

 I must sound very stupid but at 83 years I am afraid my words have come out very  confusing.

I intend reading each of your posts completely and I appreciate each and every one.
I realize that a tree is impractical and my files which hold every ones lives are more than enough.

I guess a page with good old Rollo at the top sounded inviting.
As far as authenticity of each name, every one joins with the previous little soul.

I will write again after reading your posts.
Thankyou for your patience and time,

Regards to all,     Annette

The Common Room / 33 generation tree
« on: Tuesday 02 January 18 04:44 GMT (UK)  »
Are there any suggestions as to where to begin a tree full of 33 generations dating back to the Vikings.
I feel looking at a tree gives you more idea of the overall result.
I am proud of myself but I am determined to have a tree of some sort.
Any help appreciated.
Annette

I bless the DNA who after over 80 years we now have an answer to Dad's father.
There were court cases at the time and the proof is there.
Just wish that we knew all this before Dad died. He did not ever know and continued thinking his Mother was his aunt all his life.
Cannot help wondering if William and Dad had a likeness.
Thankyou,  Annette

Hi Cando,

I have contacted a few trees but no one has any photos.  I have been moving softly as Dad was illegitimate and I was afraid to step on any toes.   Hence my hope that a distant relative may come forward.  It would be a shock to the immediate family.
Thankyou,  Annette
