CR002
On the direct Cushing ancestor heritage line, if you really want a very long journey through ancestral history taking you back via the Councils to the Roman Empire to DAHN Konige born 400 years before Christ in 0400BC follow CR002 from OLIVE Maud (ne Hodges) Cushing b1907. You can get to the same place by following KF01 to Judith of Flanders the daughter of CHARLES b823 then switch via her husband to CR002 or if you want to get to CHARLEMAGNE follow CR002 then switch to CHARLES b823 and CG02, don’t worry you are still following a direct ancestral line. Dates before 1500 are usually approximate as births and deaths were often not registered only names of children. I have used Wills, graves, encyclopaedia references, books and web sources such as Wikipedia and have only recorded on this tree plausible dates, the web is unfortunately full of impossible records!

FL001
THIS IS JUST FOR FUN - FL stands for the Fun Line, it starts of seriously enough but once I got to PHOENIUSA Farsaidh King of Scythia 2533bc with some folks living to be 200 years old and really, really struggling with the Arabic language, so in despair I decided to switch to the Book of Genesis for the ancestral path and go back, via NOAH to Adan and Eve just for some “fantasy” fun, that’s 4000 bc BUT with some very strange DOBs relative to the ancestors (as many of other peoples family trees seem to consist totally of causing me much distress at times)….. as I have said FL001 is the FUN LINE so please dont take it as literal as the other research I have done. It does go to 2000bc with some proof of birth and linage so it’s not all just fun, then again it is Irish history and they are very good at stories………as is the Bible. And no, I have not found Jesus yet………

LU02
LU02 leads via Simon de Montfort Sixth Earl of Leicester who gives his name to De Montfort University who is credited with establishing the first Parliament of England in 1265. He is the son of Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester, a French nobleman and crusader, and Alix de Montmorency to his paternal grandmother Amicia de Beaumont, the senior co-heiress to the Earldom of Leicester and a large estate owned by her brother Robert de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Leicester, in England and his father who took part in the Albigensian cusades. With the irrevocable loss of Normandy, King John refused to allow the elder Simon to succeed to the earldom of Leicester and instead placed the estates and title into the hands of Montfort senior's cousin Ranulf, the Earl of Chester. Napoleon Bonaparte described Simon de Montfort as "one of the greatest Englishmen".
His father Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester (c. 1175 – 25 June 1218), Also Viscount of Albi, Béziers and Carcassonne from 1213, as well as Count of Toulouse from 1215. known as Simon IV (or V) de Montfort and as Simon de Montfort the Elder, was a French nobleman and knight of the early 13th century. He is widely regarded as one of the great military commanders of the Middle Ages. He took part in the Fourth Crusade and was one of the prominent figures of the Albigensian Crusade. |
