This collection begins around 300 AD telling the story from early Celtic origins.  Individual reprints are placed in sequence and organized in some type of chronological order.  Just the beginning it is.

This notebook contains the complete family tree beginning with Gadforch (JA-1) through myself (JAD-1).  It uses my coding system established many years prior, with this data set last being revised 6/15/2011.  New information and changes can be made as discovered.  The following is a copy of the first page giving the names, coding, and example of the content of this notebook.

   An example of the notes include the fact that Ednowain Bendew, the husband of Gweyryl (JE-7) is listed as the founder of the 13th Noble Tribe of Wales in Burke, but the 12th Noble Tribe in Nicholas. [Not sure why the difference.]  This data set represents more than 53 years of family tree climbing!
