Sorry Pam, I was overtaken with total confusion.And I’m not much better today.

The reference to the Epitaph of Edward Poore and Rachel Poore at Salisbury is the only reference (date 1825)I have...

I am having a small problem of verifying brother to brother relationships. I have found an epitaph for a person which gives his ancestor as a brother to somebody much more famous(Roger of Salisbury)....

Not part of my ancestry but Strongbow and a group of le Puer’s were part of the Norman invasion of Ireland. I wouldn’t mind knowing where they originated at. That really is about it.

To start with, I have wondered how there was 5 known bishops from the Puer/Poore family, that came together at one period of time in England, that had influences in Normandy and Brittany. A father, 3...

I’ll prepare you now. Don’t be a bit surprised if my next post will include the words “sainthood and emperor”. I am not kidding.

Sometimes big jumps, mostly small ones. The surnames I have been researching(Poer,le Poer, dela Poore, Poor, Power, had got me to the 1200’s in England with Roger of Salisbury being the central...

I have gotten back to Richard of IIchester, bishop in Poiters France/England. Trying to find the start of the Poore surname. These names above are what he is associated with. I think I might be at...

Ain’t history a hoot! I know my genealogy doesn’t really matter today but I sure like finding out about history. It has gotten me interested in castles, siege weapons, exchequer, tally sticks, and...

I found some Fitz_____. It looked like it was used as a prefix for another name, but not sure.

I purchased a reprint of my family reunion book from forgotten books.com. It was a great help.

Yeah, I saw that and thought it likely they will stop back someday. It really seems to take determination to unlock history. I remember when I first saw the connection and thought that was really...

I was researching the only Baronet I have found in my family and found that the 3rd baronet of Rishall was married to the daughter of a preacher by the name of Moody. The 3rd baronet left his wife...

Just thinking Normans were a group old time SCA enactors with the Duke of Normandy leading his soldiers to restore the crown to himself. Not sure the actual Normans weren’t just a mix of celts,...

I have 4 sources to thank for my studies.

My father for documenting history with pictures.

The 10 family gatherings an the related books that were published in 1881. This gave me the ships...

Some names are important in history. Some people did important things. Some people had family help. Some people had royalty help them. Many were war mongers. Others made great progresses.
My family...

Here is a topic I haven’t seen yet.

I have gotten into a book that goes into my name at the earliest point(500bc), referring to early Celtic movements due to Roman/Lombardy/Celtic/Gaul/etc wars....

Would Bovellan be a possible spelling? Or Bovell?

References I have seen, refer to a small church in the Caen area as the first meeting. Church of Saint George’s age doesn’t seem to fit, But the church of St. Remy fits the time frame.

Very true, and seldom with much depth. I have found some of the books very in-depth getting down to how the trial was carried out. Wiki’s single draw is it’s an easy link. Other research references...
