Royal Lineage
My family history in America can be tracked (via one branch) back to
several pilgrims. One of them, Priscilla Alden, can be traced to William
the Conqueror, and from William back to the 10th century. (Good
scholarship forces me to add the disclaimer that the is some controversy
over whether Priscilla's father and the Wm. Molines descended from the
Conqueror are the same person. But this is they way the geneology is
preserved in my family's records.)
I'll eventually come up with a more graceful way of listing this entire
