Hello everyone,
My wife and I have a GED on Ancestry.com, which I tried to upload here but I guess it’s too big now. So, I manually created the first 5-10 generations here, and am enjoying carefully tying into the universal family tree. :-)
At this point our GED is >30k individuals, about ~25% lineal, going back 30+ generations on the Anglo-Norman/Franco-German lines. While I'm not satisfied with all of the data quality, it has value, even if contains errors. That tree branched out enough, I’ve had The Epiphany that: we’re all cousins, to some degree. Too bad we don’t have better records from antiquity... and some modern nations!
Here is some Cousin Bait, i.e. family names from my All-American Mutt pedigree, going back four generations, covering the “classic” periods of immigration to North America:
- TAYLOR (Felsham, Suffolk via Virginia etc.)
- WEBSTER (Cossington, Leicestershire via New England)
- SACK (Arzberg, Wunsiedel, Bayern via Chicago)
- BRITTON (England via Massachusetts)
- SIMSON (Simle, Simleness) (Simle farm, Fresvik, Sogn og Fjordane via Minnesota)
- ANDERSON (Andersson) (Namsos, Nord-Trøndelag via Minnestoa)
- PAVLISH (Pavliš) (Kingdom of Bohemia via Minnesota)
- TROYAK (Trojak, Trovak) (Kingdom of Bohemia via Iowa)
- KONOPKA (Tarnobrzeg, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria via Ontario)
- SPIEWAK (Spievak) (Tarnobrzeg, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria)
- SIENKIEWICZ (Niżański, Podkarpackie, Galicia via Ontario)
- GORCZYCA (Gorczycow) (Modliborzyce, Janowski, Lubelskie via Michigan)
- KAPPLER (Kapler, Kepler) (Hütschenhausen, Kaiserslautern, Bayern via Ontario)
- MURRAY (Maigh Dumha, Co. Longford via Ontario)
- JEPSEN (Denmark via Michigan)
- MOGENSEN (Løkken, Nørrejyske Ø, Jutland via Michigan)
I’m a descendant of John WEBSTER, first governor of colonial Connecticut. That was a lucky break from a genealogy perspective, as his line was both fertile and well documented. We weren’t so lucky with the first TAYLOR whose family origins in England before the revolutionary war remain unclear, aside from baptism and marriage records in Felsham, Suffolk.
He and his descendants are buried in the old Taylor family cemetery near Hero, PA (named for his grandson Jesse who was first the local boy killed in the US civil war). If your ancestors are buried there too, we’re probably related:

NOTE: If you’re a TAYLOR in the USA, with ancestry mysteries from ~1580 to ~1780, then feel free to contact me. I’ve helped a few Taylor folks figure out which branch they’re actually from, from Boston (1600s) to Virginia (1700s), and Chicago (1800s) to California (1900s).
Here are some major family names from prior generations, flowing back from colonial New England to Anglo-Norman era to vikings and whatnot:
- COFFIN (English via New England)
- VALLEAU (French via Dutch-ish New York / New Jersey)
- LATSON / LANSING (Lansinghe) (Dutch via New York)
- MALLORY (de Mallory) (English via Virginia)
- de BRADBORNE (Bradbourne) Anglo-Norman
- de LUDLOW (Ludlowe) Anglo-Norman
- de PEMBRIDGE (Pembrugge) Anglo-Norman
- de VERNON Anglo-Norman
- de GREY Anglo-Norman
- de RIVIERS (Redvers) Anglo-Norman
- de ROUEN Franco-Norman
- de CREPON Franco-Norman
And for my wife, first the “recent” grand-parent arrivals:
- COOGAN (Ireland)
- DOHERTY (Ireland)
- LYNCH (Ireland)
- BURKE (Ireland)
- BOURQUE (French via Acadia)
- BABIN (French via Acadia)
- BOUDREAU (French via Acadia)
- POTHIER (French via Acadia)
- FLYNN (Ireland)
- DELANEY (Ireland)
- McCAULEY (Irish via England)
- LEONARD (Irish via England)
- JENNINGS (Ireland)
- MONAHAN (Moynahan, Monyhan) (Irish via Northern Ireland)
- FLANAGAN (Ireland)
- MAHONEY (Ireland)
She is a direct descendant of Charles St-Etienne de La TOUR, governor of the French Acadian colony in the 1600s. I look forward to learning much more about her Irish ancestry from here on Wiki Tree. Some of our living relatives are already here. :-)
Within the French quadrant of my wife’s family, there are more ancient families… you know how it goes, when you find a particular line that goes way back, it just goes and goes right back through the Crusades etc. into, and in some cases, notional descents from antiquity:
- CHARTRES (700s)
- de BLOIS (900s)
- de CHAMPAGNE
- de SULLY
- SALAZAR (Spanish, Basque, Andalusian etc.)
- de BOURBON
- de La TREMOILLE
- de CRAON
- de BERGERAC
- d’ AQUITAINE (Occitanie, Occitan)
- de FRANCE / ROBERTIAN Kings of France etc.
I mention these medieval names because I am VERY disinterested in trying to DIY research foggy medieval bloodlines. Which stump and divide even the pro-est pros. For this reason, I would like to bolt our family tree onto well-researched work done here collaboratively, so I can focus on work nobody else is doing.
Respectfully,
Isaac

Regarding Maria Hoyring vs. Maria Hogen. I would NOT merge them. They are different persons found on a website for baptisms who were born in different years, and had different parents. I go with the baptism info, since there is nothing else yet. I never merge anything that looks this different. The parents of one were the witnesses to the other’s baptism. Interesting.
I will look at it more tomorrow. It’s late here.
Did you learn anything?

It would be more helpful if you could actually link the WikiTree profiles you're alluding to, so we can just click. Thanks.

What is the profile ID / URL?
Merry Christmas
I have two sources that have verified connections,
https://landedfamilies.blogspot.com/2015/11/195-arundell-of-wardour-castle-and_18.html
Plus this an ebook free on Google which clearly shows Sir John Arundel as his father (pedigree of the Arundel family).
transactions - Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, Volume 17
I have also found from various sources to which I have no access (taken from other genealogy sites who do have access which I have listed on his profile) that his birth was 1396 in Lanherne, Cornwall and his death was on 24.6.1443 in Cornwall.
Happy and safe New Year.

As I mentioned above in reply to some of your other comments here on my profile page, it would be (more) helpful -- at least to me -- if you could provide a clickable link to the WikiTree profile(s) you are alluding to. Otherwise it takes time just to register, rather than click and go think.
Regardless, I applaud your fraternity and critical thinking, and I am grateful for your provided sources. Thanks, ur-cousin!
You concern was also well covered https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/625560/gdpr-and-famous-people?show=625560#q625560
I will read more, and have a think.
Not sure. It was orphaned and I adopted it. Ill release it so you can place it correctly.
The Tankersley post you have noted for Dolphyn Tankersley is from Harriet Frye. She is working on a book about the family history and has done extensive research on the subject. I trust her as a good source for issues regarding the family tree.
Brgds,
Bill Tanksley

I'm not certified for Pre-1500 profiles, so in G2G we trust. Sigh.
Please don't interpret that as a recurring criticism of you. I'm in the same boat with regards Pre-1500 certification.
But still, I do often ask on the profiles for the current profile manager to give feedback or make edits. Even if the current profile manager(s) are unable to do so. That is for two reasons. First, because new profile manager(s) will come and go over time. Second, because it may be appropriate in some cases for the inactive profile managers to remove themselves, if they can't / don't / won't either edit (ie manage) the profiles; or go through the process to become Pre-1500 certified.
Again, nothing personal.
Respectfully,
Bob
