I always enjoy the people who say "Let's get back to geneaolgy" Yes, that is where we started. To the best of my knowledge, neither Jesus the Christ (surname unknown) nor William the Conqueror (surname unknown) left a will. I would like to see the evidence for descent from either one of these two men. That is genealogy, and a perfectly good topic for discussion on this list.. We never got off of genealogy. To say "Let's get back to geneaolgy" is a sophomoric non starter.

On the last cold day of December in the dying year we count as 406, the river Rhine froze solid, providing the natural bridge that hundreds of thousands of hungry men, women and children had been waiting for. They were the barbarians and they were illiterate and left no records and certainly had no need for the records and literature of the Roman Empire which they were destroying. The beginning of the dark ages. It would be a very long time before names were again recorded and then only if you were someone. A commoner? Probably no record that you ever existed. Now how someone claims to research through this time I cannot begin to guess. I can accept a connection to Charlemange or William the Conquerer or to one of the Magna Charta Sureties but probably not much more. Of course you can always be like my grandmother who said our ancestors were English Royalty when in fact they were coal miners from Cornwall. So the 'get back to genealogy' comment I assume refers to the subject of this board and that's Culpeper. There is much to be explored here. www.johnhogg.us John -----Original Message----- From: vaculpep-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:vaculpep-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Craig Kilby Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 8:39 AM To: vaculpep@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VACULPEP] It's all relative I always enjoy the people who say "Let's get back to geneaolgy" Yes, that is where we started.
