Author Description

This work, in three volumes, takes the documented ancestry of Teresa Jane Mitchell Orr from her Gateway Ancestors to notable historical figures in medieval history. To name just a few, in these pages you will find King Edward I of England, King Henri Capet of France, Charlemagne, Alfred the Great, St. Margaret, St. Fernando, and St. Vladimir. Also, included are Kenneth MacAlpin, William the Conqueror, St. Margaret of Scotland, King Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, as well as Rollo the Dane, with many other kings and queens of medieval Europe. The document ends with Merovech who fought Attila the Hun in 451 A.D. and with Cerdic of Wessex, the earliest documented ancestor of the English royal line.These volumes contain thousands of footnotes and references. The references that I have used in most cases are the same as those used by hereditary societies to track the ancestry of their applicants. These are listed in the bibliography at the end of each volume.
