ANCIENT ANCESTORS - Home Page

 

ANCIENT ANCESTORS with MODERN DESCENDANTS (8th Edition) is a compilation providing lines of descent from some 3,000 ancient and early medieval families to millions of present day Europeans and Americans. These ancestors include members from most of the former ruling dynasties in Europe and the Middle East, with some going back to 6th century BCE kingdoms in the Near East.

        The listed ancestral families with collated information are shown in bold under-lined capitals (e.g. AACHEN - Comtes).  Other ancestral families, titles and land holders known to have putative present day descendants are shown in bold normal type (e.g. Abbeville - Seigneurs)  below.
