Printed Meredith Family Tree to AD699 Posted by: <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-genforum/email.cgi?076753739">Margaret Meredith Bubner</A> meredith@waveglobal.com Date: February 09, 2001 at 02:05:51 of 1853 http://genforum.genealogy.com/meredith/messages/1214.html I have a printed 19th century booklet of our family tree, going back to King Cadwallader, last king of the Britons, in 699AD (from whom Queen Victoria can claim descent, according to the booklet). (We have some family silver engraved with the family emblem of a goat, which was also Cadwallader's emblem, as I discovered from reading Shakepeare's Henry V.) This branch moved to Ireland in about the 17th century. I would like to make the contents of the booklet available on this web site. Would someone please tell me the best address/es to which I should e-mail a scanned version of the family tree (Ms) Meredith Bubner Melbourne Australia Followups: <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/meredith/messages/1573.html">Re: Printed Meredith Family Tree to AD699 </A>Judy Agnew 10/13/01 <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/meredith/messages/1505.html">Re: Printed Meredith Family Tree to AD699 </A>Kevin Meredith 8/14/01 <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/meredith/messages/1515.html">Re: Printed Meredith Family Tree to AD699 </A>G.

Cadwalladr was not the last king of the britons and Meredith as a patronym is virtually impossible to trace with accuracy beyond 1400. Most books on genealogy printed in the 19th century were hopelessly inaccurate or works of vanity with no truth - Burkes peerage being a good example of a work done by a notorious forger of pedigrees. As an expert on welsh history and especially the name of Maredudd I would be quite happy to go over any major points of conflict within the info you have. Feel free to contact me if you wish via my e.mail address. I woudl also point out that Shakespeare is not a good source of historical data being as he was given to massive bouts of poetic license, best wishes Richard Meredith hanescym@hotmail.com http://genforum.genealogy.com/meredith/messages/1216.html ______________________________________________________======================== ============================== Part # one Subj: history Date: 8/6/2002 2:07:39 AM Central Standard Time From: kenmero@iprimus.com.au (ken meredith) To: Bluchp56@aol.com (Bluchp56@aol.com) File: history (6562 bytes) DL Time (46666 bps): < 1 minute MEREDITH PEDEGREE John the second son of Thomas Meredith is the progenator of Richard Meredith of Rowley in the county of Radnor who was born in 1683.
