I set up this site to trace and document my ancestors.
I have so far traced my family line back to 742 AD. As you can see from this site, I have documentation clearly showing my ancestry back to Charlemagne.
The family tree
You can navigate the tree to some extent. In each page, there are links to that person’s children and/or parents. Take a look by starting with our earliest known ancestor Charlemagne.
The plugin displaying the genealogical tree is broken right now. I’m working on repairing the back-end tech.
Future plans
What you will see here is a direct line from the present day to antiquity. In 2018 I researched the patriarchal line figuring this would be the best way to perform a depth-first search. I have since started to flesh out my female ancestors, where possible, and their ancestry too.
I also plan to research key historical events that involve my family, places they lived in and buildings they owned. In some cases, historical buildings still exist and it should be possible to visit them.
Do subscribe to receive information about new articles. A new article will imply a new family member I’ve researched, or information related to the family.
If you’re enjoying this website and want to support my research, the easiest way would be to donate something.
There are plenty of history books I want to read to supplement the information here, and plenty of national archives and records to trawl through. If you have some information of your own and would like to share that, you can do that too.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
