Some lineages take too many pages to print and far exceed the number of pages a book will allow. For instance, from Albert Atwell to Adam, son of God, is more than 15,000 pages. And so, specific lineages are included in special report form. Included in this volume are specific lineages that relate to important people in the past, such as - Charlemagne, Anna of Arimathea the Prophetess, King Arthur (pictured on the front cover), Powhatan and more - to whom Albert Atwell is related. It also includes stories, pictures and images that relate to the people in Volume 1. Please enjoy these special lineages as you browse.

When first beginning research to find her family's history, Diana sought out the descendants of the Simon family in the St. Louis area to learn that the place they came from had something to do with 'swans.' She later learned that they came from Swanden, in the Canton of Glarus in Switzerland. Then through her great-grandfathers obituary in Davenport, Iowa, she was able to place the Millers/Moellers in Schoenberg, Schleswig-Holstein.The Hansens and the Carstensens were just as influential as the Carstensens were the "Kings Royal Forest Rangers." Enjoy the journey as you learn how they came to Davenport, Iowa from Schoenberg on the edge of the Baltic Sea in Germany (where they were fishermen) and the Alps of Switzerland (where they were of Jewish faith) to the small village of Cordova, on the banks of the muddy Mississippi after the Civil War.More than 40 generations, the families reach back to 860 A.D. and include medieval rulers of Europe.

There is still a lot of work that can be done, and things to learn about the individuals represented by these 99 generations. The Wolter family descends from the Sea Kings of Norway and Orkney, the High Kings of Ireland, Merovingian, Capetian and Carolingian lines of Normandy and the Grail lines of ancient Wales.

After more than 20 years of research, the author was finally able to pull together more than 70,000 descendants of William Morss (b. in the 1600s) and his wife Elizabeth. By tracking the descendants of Anthony Morse of Essex County, MA she can identify more than 70,000 descendants. Many of these lines had been lost to history, including a more recent one of Joseph Willis Morse, whose son founded the precursor to the magazine "Vanity Fair" in Atlantic City. His son had '9' sons, each with large families of their own, none of whom were listed in the traditional histories. And so the search began.. Browse the names of the first 6 generations of descendants of Stephen Morse of Essex Co., MA. More will be published in the future, but books can only be so many pages. Volume 2 will include the story of Hugo Von Mors, the descendant of a noble Flanders family and a Knights Templar.

Hundreds of books and papers have been written about the "Knights Templar". Most deal with their origins, recruitment practices, code of conduct, daily life, battles in which they fought and the political and economic machinations that took place throughout their almost 200 year history, followed by the trials which took place after their condemnation in 1307. While some authors have written about the founding "Nine" Templars and Jacgues de Molay - considered to be the last Templar - little is known of the other men (and women) who pledged their lives to the Order. This series tries to identify those who lived between 1114 and 1314 by studying the places where they lived; the commanderies and fortresses they built, and the armies of those they followed. Indexed, this book identifies more than 1500 Templars including 71 mentions of treasure! Vol 1 covers Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Flanders, and France. Vol 2 covers the Iberian peninsula, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Cyprus, Jerusalem, and more..

The ancestors of Terry L Tilton came from around the globe; from the ancient castles of Wales and Scotland, the farmlands of Russia and the island of Roanoke in the Americas to the farmlands of Minnesota.

The LeGere family originally came from the Dijon and Normandy areas of France; descendants of the Merovingian kings and lords of the surrounding region. Arriving in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia in the middle 1600s, the family quickly assimilated to the wildness of Nova Scotia. Jacques dit Larosset Leger arrived as part of the French contingent, ready to conquer and settle in "New France." Some of the Legere men married native American women; one of whom was a daughter of Henri Membertou, the first Mic'Mac native to be baptized by the French priests at the age of 103 and the leader of the Mic'Mac nation. When the French were expelled from Acadia, many went south to the United States, even to Louisiana.

At least five different Weems men settled on Long Cane Creek in Abbeville County, South Carolina before the Revolutionary War. Even today there are Weems living in Abbeville County, both white and black. For years, genealogists have been confused about who is the son of whom, but land records make it clear that '4' men; Thomas (Eleanor) Weems, Redfearn Weems, Thomas (and Elizabeth) Weems, and Henry Weems all were granted land on Long Cane Creek. While the county lines have changed dramatically over the years, Long Cane Creek remained a constant. It was here that thousands of Weems descendants, both black and white, call home.Today, DNA evidence is slowly dividing the different Weems children into family groups. Included here, are the descendants of each of those identified children; regardless of who their parent(s) was. There is most certainly missing information, errors in dates and places, and misspellings. Feel free to scribble on your book and make your corrections, and additions.

From Merovingian Kings and the Sea-Kings of Norway, the ancestors of Jeffry Jovan Philyaw (aka Jovan Hutton Pulitzer) quickly forgot their beginnings in the castles of Europe. There they fought for family, honour and power; Lords, Earls, Templar Knights, Knights of the Garter, Kings and Queens of Scotland, England, Wales and Europe. When the politics began to stifle their freedom, they moved to the Americas, many of them changing their names. As they spread across the nation, they became farmers, teachers, attorneys, politicians, doctors, nurses and soldiers fighting in every war since the Revolution. While his fathers side were Protestants and traditional religious leaders, Jovan's mother's ancestors were Jewish and suffered the indignities of the Holocaust, some of them dying in concentration camps, while others cooperated with the Germans and were scientists and high-ranking soldiers. Families were torn apart, and principles were compromised in order to survive.
