Hi. What a wonderful job you've done. I hook into this line through the royalty lines. However, I've found a slight mistake on your webpage, I believe. You have switched Shem and Arphaxad. My theory is backed up both by the Bible and other researchers. Though you might like to know. It's tough to put up large amounts of data, I always make tons of typos. Keep up the great work!

This is a most interesting collection of pedigrees. I am curious as to how the research was done. If you want me to search in GB for any lost ancestors then contact me via email for a chat. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. I notice that your wife is from American Fork. I was there in 1988 visiting the Oldroyd family. Take a look at my web page as it will give you a clearer picture of who I am and what I do. I am still a novice at web page publishing as you will see. I hope to get some graphics put on it soon.

Very interesting! A lot of information that I didn't know of, but also some errors according to my sources. (I will send you a longer email.) They tells: 1.A smaller differense is that 96 Genebald is father to the wife of 97. More important for you (but not for me - I am related in different lines with 118, 109 and 102.): 2. My two(but perhaps one of them looked on the other) sources tells that the father of 115 was Ludolph (the first of the "Ludolphingers", king of Sachsen. This line goes back with kings/dukes of Sachsen to Harderich 90 BC. (Your line has no person that they can get their "family" name from what I can see. (But that's perhaps not so big problem - if you are related with one on this level, you are related with all - the problem is only to find out how. Thanks for the confirming that the franks (73) and sicambers (earlier) was related. (I thought so when I tried to read my source in german with old type letters, but I wasn't sure. That sources didn't go further back than to your 57, but my sources confirm that he was related to Troy! Sorry, if I have found an important error on your line, but we can perhaps find a new way from 115 to the top. (I have a ful big size office cover with space for 60 persons on each paper - I havn't still found a computer program good enough to put in all old information in, so I didn't found Pippin the Short-line now, but I remember that we are related.) Did you know: 102 is the father of prince Sigberet(Sigurd), who is the historical person behind S:t Georg the Dragonkiller (or what you call him. We call him S:t Goran & draken, and the Germans(?) call him Sigurd Faufnersbahne.) Your line is partly two(!) of my old "personal records" that I have menthioned on my site. I will send you more detailsin a separate email. Best regards!

I am just an amatuer genealogist myself, so take this with a grain of salt. Point one, good job done from Adam to Clovis. Problem one Charlemagne's direct male line has been in dispute, and he may not be a male line descendent from Clovis,but he is through a female line. Problem two, I count only 14 generations between (1050-1650),there should about 24+-1 generations during this time span.I'm sure you will get the gaps filled in though.

Nifty descent! I'd like to see your sources on the descent, so I can confirm the descent and add to my source lists. If you have a GEDCOM of the file and/or sources of the descent, I would be very much appreciative. BTW, I descend through Henry III, so the link to your descent starts at Arnuff, Bishop of Metz. Looking forward to your reply! Stan Page

(Joe Orgill: I've included the email here)

Your information seems to be accurate back to Adhelheid, mother of Robert the Strong. At that point there seems to be some convolution of information. Irmigardis, daughter of Ingram is shown as mother or Adheleid. However, Ingram was Charlemagne's father-in-law, and Ermengard (Irmgard, Irmigardis) was Charlemagne's wife. I have no record at all of Charlemagne ever having a son named Ingram (although, admittedly, I don't know who all his children are yet...he reputedly had 24 or 25 of them !! ) I wonder if you could give me a reference for where you got your information.

Second, I show Ansbertus (Ausbertus) as the father of St. Arnulf of Metz. I think "Arnoldus" may be an interpolation of Arnulf as his own father.

Third, I have Dagobert, father of Chlodius (Cladius I) as the son of Walter. You have Genebald and Dagobert interpolated there. Could you give me a ref for that, too.

Just curious....in your pedigree, you have "Arphared" following Noah and preceding Sham (Shem). I have never heard or seen this name before. According to Genesis, Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth. My understanding is that Shem is the eponymous ancestor of the Semites. Can you enlighten me ??

Thanks Gary Collier

Joe,

I have looked at your home page & found it very interesting, as I would also like to establish a database back to Adam. My link is believed to be through the Duke of Berry (1686 - 1714 - child of Louis de France = Mary Anne of Bavaria m. 1680) - I have yet to prove the link back to him.

What I havn't managed so far is to find any on line GEDCOM files for this line (I have a few generations of French Kings, then come to a dead end). I've also only been able to find text files of biblical genealogy.

Are your GEDCOM files available for download anywhere? I had a look around your site, and all I could find were database access forms to them.

Subject: Geneology

Dear Joe,

Hello! My name is Christopher Olson and I have run across your page while doing my own research. I appreciated having your outline to compare against as I researched my own tree. I do have some points to mention, though.

1) Item 27 identifies "Jlos Mar. Eurydike." I have found in several old souces the marriage of Ilus to Eurydice. I know this is a small difference, but thought you might be interested.

2) Your page shows a blank line-space between Items 26 and 27. Although maybe unitentional, I have several source that indicate Ilus's father was Tros (the person who changed his city's name to Troy, from his Grandfather's naming of Dardania -- his grandfather being Dardanus who married Batia, daughter of Teucer). Tros was Erichthonius's son. This generation is missing from your listed lineage.

3) I have taken my lineage back to Dardanus (Tecucer via marriage to Batia, his daughter). However, my sources to date either fail to indicate who his parents were or list them as Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. Well, I'ld have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick before adding Zeus to my family tree; I would have a hard time keeping a straight face when showing it to others. So, I have to ask how you got from DARDA, son of Zarah and grandson of Judah (from the Bible) to DARDANUS (from other ancient sources)? I would like to believe them to be one-in-the same; however, I need documentation. My biblical sources do not identify any children of Darda to overlap my lineages built back to Dardanus, and my souces for Dardanus are obviously not going to overlap with any Bible I'm familiar with. Your assistance and information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Christopher Olson

though you can see I'm not a fan of Descents from Adam!
they simply aren't history.

anyway, about the historical bit of your descent,
I'm not sure if you got my message a few days ago.
You have Hadwig marrying the wrong Hugh the Great.
see links.html

You can still get a descent from Charlemagne though.
Just go to links.html and click on
Hugh the Great of Vermandois and Rohese
and follow their parents upwards.

Subject: your Descent from Adam page

Hi there,

Came across your Descent from Adam page.
You're wrong about who Hadwig
(dau of Henry I the Fowler, Holy Roman Emperor)
married - full details including hyperlinks
are on my page:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mh10006/FamTree/

You can still get a descent from Rohese
(dau of Henry I of England) to Charlemagne though.
Just click on her name on my page and follow
the links upwards.

Beyond Charlemagne I'm afraid your tree
isn't properly substantiated.
It's possible that someday we'll get a substantiated line
back to classical times, but we don't have one yet.
And obviously we'll never have a descent from Adam
since no such character ever existed.
You may not like what I say about
"Descents from Adam" on my page.

Anyway, good luck with the historical parts of it!

Your site presents me with two questions. First, where does your

And secondly, do you have data on the knights Templar, who played a

I found your page to be very interesting. We share the same ancient
ancestry, but where your line continues through Neowig after Clodion in 448,
I am descended through another son, named Sigmerius. I was wondering if their
are any references on the Cimmerian people. If so please respond and I would
be very appreciative.

I'm very sorry I did not respond sooner, but the last few weeks of this school thing are just killing me.. Anyway, my aunt does alot of this geneology work on my mother's side. (being that she's her sister.) She got back to Clodius II with her research, and I felt the urge (it was a complete and utter impulse) to look him up and see what he was about. Anyway, when I did a Webcrawler search through America Online, your Webpage came up. I was very excited. I created my own Webpage about it, and if you wish to see exactly how I can trace it, it's at http://members.aol.com/bigfluffe/a2a.html (The numbering is a bit jumbled, but that's okay)

It turns out that our lines split after Dagobert, Duke of Franks (317). He apparently had two sons, Clodomir V (Your line) and Genebald (mine). Interestingly enough, our lines cross again at Ausbertus / Ausbert (520-570), and continue on together until Charlemagne, who had two sons. Louis De Debonaire, King of the Franks, whose line your tree follows, and his bastard son, Hugo, the Holy Roman Emperor, from which my lineage sprung.

Well, I hope this has been somewhat informative, and I hope to hear from you again. And yes, please send me the information you have... I think my aunt would find it very fascinating. Thanks again!
