RN #154 The Children of Tudor Trevor

This notebook contains a series of detailed charts/graphs/chronology that outlines the children of Tudor Trevor.  It begins with the first generation following Tudor Trevor (JC-1).  It then numbers the generations in sequence.  The following chart is such a page.  It shows Gadforch (JA-1), to Ynyr (JB-1), to Tudor Trevor (JC-1).   It then begins with the three sons of Tudor Trevor (JC-1): Goronwy (JD-1), Llydocka (JD-2), and my specific line (the baby) Dingad (JD-3).  It then outlines the lineage of each branch of this family tree down to my own generation.   It represents some my earliest work on the generations of my family tree using a coding system and coloring system.

Pink was the eldest son, orange was the second son, and blue was used for the baby boy.  A rough chronology is shown to the right.  The color coding was especially helpful as the branches of the family tree grew.

RN # 153 House of Tudor Trevor

The next group of research notebooks begins my family tree research on the other side of the great pond.  It begins with my first attempt to put together the family tree from the earliest days in the mountains of Wales.  This notebook (#153) starts with what was discovered after some 40 years of genealogy.  It places each (grandfather) in rough historical context beginning Gadforch fl 850 AD to Robert Jones of  Llwyn-Onn fl 1550 .  Each generation is presented in sequence.
