I have posted a gedcom of what I've found regarding the ancestry of Melina Dalton, wife of Elisha Whittington. It is most interesting, if correct ..... it ties into the royal lineages of Europe and many of the Kings & Queens are there, including an nth grand-uncle, Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, aka Robin Heud and Lady Godiva, an nth g-grandmother .... among many, many others. (Remember, I've only linked this into other people's research, which simply gives us some clues for our own verification of this data .... and it is generally agreed that the royal lineages are fraught with difficulty due to the subterfuge (aka affairs), legends lies and intermarriages.) find the gedcom (1.2M and zipped 304k) at: http://genweb.net/~whittington/melina-anc/ Some detailed royalty research is at http://www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/public/genealogy/royal/ I share this with you because, to me, that's what this is all about -- remembering / discovering our heritage and making it available to all the family ..... please let me know what you discover about this information -- either good or bad ..... I want to continue to "grow" our information ... but I also want to have it as correct as is reasonably possible. Tom Cloud <[email protected]>
