Subject: Descent from Adam (Please check the medieval section)
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 05:03:32 GMT


While I am, of course, pretty skeptical about "Descent From Adam" lines
being provable, I have come into possesion of one for members of my own
distant family, and thought it would be nice to check on the medieval
portions and see if they seem historically accurate. I will transcribe
the medieval portions below, and am hoping someone will look at it for
obvious errors, likely historic authenticity, and possible alternates if
it is found to be in error.

I realize this is "Best Guess" history in some cases, not rocket science,
but would like to have some gauge of it's likeliness. If it turns out to
be pretty close, I would be very much interested in more information
regarding this line. I can hopefully use it to spark some interest in
genealogy at the next family reunion. Something like a GEDCOM or TT of
the line would great! Any history of these people would be equaly great.

Thanks

Scott
