I have finally reached about as far back as I am likely to get.
I have just discovered that an ancestor owned a large house in East Meon. It seems he was liable for "Hearth Tax" on 4 hearths and had 100 acres of land (also taxable)
I wonder if I claim my inheritance what the bloody Inland Revenue will want in terms of interest. eeek:
Oh and to aid the calculation he lived there in 1470.

By a stroke of good luck I have found another relly I didn't know about and they have got back even further. Info has now been exchanged (I had stuff they were looking for too) and I have now got a line back to ....................... 1160!!!! eeek:
The new info includes the Lieutenant of a castle in Calais and several "Sirs" and "Ladys"
But it's OK you peasants can still call me Snoopy lol:

Nope it is deffo Eric Blair who preferred to be known as George Orwell for reasons that I know not ..... unless he foresaw that the name of Blair would, one day, be for evermore associated with the words That C*nt

I know this is boring to you all but forgive me .... I am excited by it.
Today I found no fewer than 6 ancestors who fought with Henry V at Agincourt .... from which two were knighted by the King.
Now that is the point of family history to me.
Anyone who thinks they may have had ancestors at Agincourt (on the English side) there is a fantastic bit of research done by the Universities of Southampton and Reading that lists all of the English side. They have, apparently, culled the information from the paylists maintained by the King's servants to ensure that wages were accounted for. You can search by name, rank etc.

There is a book in this .... and I have already started writing it. Prolly take me years but the beauty of it is that it will be a never ending story that my children/grandchildren etc will be able to carry on with.

:thumbsup: Makes perfect sense to me. Family history is fascinating IMO.

Nice find Snoops! :thumbsup: And ditto MissC 8)

Members of my family were involved in this.

Stirring stuff. There is. I hear on the news tonight an encampment starting outside Sheffield cathedral. If my ancestors could do it then maybe I should. This from a 51 year old woman who has been a Tory for her lifetime. noooo:

My pink sis and I realised today that we know nothing of the paternal line beyond our grandfather. The maternal side is a different matter.

I have a huge folder of family tree research type stuff here that my mum and stepdad were compiling before they both died. To be honest I haven't been able to face looking at it yet.
Perhaps it's time to have a gander .

Top Tip;
There really is truth in what they say. You have to start with yourself and work back with what you know ~ then start investigating.
You'll be amazed at how many relatives you have than you never knew about and how many of them will be also seeking the family history. They will all want to swap information because we are all originals and therefore no two trees can be the same.

Pink sis and I reckon we must have loads of paterrnal cousins we know nothing about

Wow!
Once you get back to 1066 it all becomes easier ..... The Normans kept good records of their knights etc and can trace them back to the original Norsemen. I have got back now to 595 and a "King" of Norway.
Minor now wants to board a ferry and go to claim his throne!! lol:
OK I admit I have had to jump from male to female line a few times .... but marriages back then were a matter of acquisition ~ either of lands or influence. I can now trace and prove a line that leads from a King of Norway born in 595 through to an agricultural labourer in Odiham born in 1860 (My mother's grandfather).
The family, on both sides, has displayed some nifty footwork changing sides twice during the Wars of the Roses, again under Henry VIII and again under Cromwell but somewhere they lost the lands and the money. confused:
The most amazing thing, to me at least, is that since 1066 not a single one was born north of the M4 .... which I find most pleasing. ;D
-
It's ok getting back to the Normans, it's getting right back to Adam & Eve that's tricky
-
Nah ~ all that "begatting" is too much for me to tackle.
It does seem that I am distantly related to Dave Cameron, HM Queen Elizabeth II and Barack Obama (tho' who wielded the tar brush I know not)
Talk about 6 steps removed from everyone!

Just discovered that my grandfather's ship was torpedoed (and sunk) by the same U-Boat (http://www.uboat.net/wwi/boats/index.html?boat=20) and Captain (http://www.uboat.net/wwi/men/commanders/322.html) that sank the RMS Lusitania...
