RN #253 Thomas Jones(es) VA

This notebook contains my work on the name "Thomas Jones" as it clustered among the same family generation(s).  It is especially difficult to sort through a group of possible ancestors that lived during the same time period, and have the same name.  For me, this was Thomas Jones.

Clustering those who share a part of the individuals connected to the one being researched can often help break down some of those brick walls.  This notebook contains the surnames: 1) Rowzie/ Rowse/ Rowzee/ Rouzee/ Rousey/ Rouzey/ Rousee/ Rouse, 2) Slaughter, 3) Catlett, 4) Beverley, 5) Booth, 6) Butler, 7) and of course Thomas Jones.  This is what I call "cluster analysis".  This is an ongoing, active research notebook.

RN #226 Bridge Peroids Family Studies

There are times in the family tree that represent periods that bridge one generation to the next.  For my JONES family these were several.   From north Wales to the county of Kent,  the county of Kent to London, from London to the shores of Virginia, and from Virginia to Kentucky are the major transition periods.  They "bridge" the geographic locations which initially would seemed unrelated.  This notebook contains my family research into these "bridge periods". 

From 1200 AD (North Wales)
     The Line of Powys
          Gruffydd ap Madoc
          David ap Bleddyn (Canon of St. Asaph 1314 AD)

RN #224 Jones Family Coding Groups JH-4 : JH-8

Family trees can get very crowed as the branches extend into history.  This notebook contains part of the family tree that became extensive.  Charts are contained of each generation that expands outward, starting with the eighth generation (JH).  The following charts show how this was done for the earlier generations.  You will have to scroll down the page to get the big picture.

And on it goes...:-)

RN #219 Family Tree Through The Sons

This notebook contains a large number of pages which graph the family tree through the sons of Tudor Trevor (JC-1).  Each is coded by number and color, to represent a way to identify and separate each lineage.  The following is from the first page showing how the information was organized and documented.

Each son, Gronwy (JD-1), Llydocks (JD-2), and Dingad (JD-3) is grouped as a family tree.  To show one page out of this group is the line of  Tudor (JH-6) "Walenesis" who was recorded in the Domesday book, 1086 AD.  I give this example to show how the family groups are documented.

This is colored "orange" which is the code for the lineage of the second son Llydocka (JD-2).  A section for each son is contained.  This work has been completed over many years of documentation, correction, and verification.

RN #215 Our Family's Genealogy by Welsh Counties

Genealogy by geography is the real title of the content contained in this notebook.  From the beginning of the family tree (at first pass) was Tudor Trevor [Tydyr Trefor] (JC-1).  The origin and descent of this tree concentrated in several Welsh counties.   The family surnames and major Welsh county was studied and grouped.  The results were placed in this notebook.  They are as follows:

Denbighshire
     Trevor
     Salberie
     Trevalyn
      Llwynon
     Bruerton
     Plas Kadwgan
     Eton (Eyton)
     Pulston
     Lloyd

Flintshire
     Moiston
     Hanmer
     Dymock
     Trevor
     Eytyn (Eton)
     Tydyr Trefor
     Thomas Pennat - Abbot of Basingwerk Abbey

Salop (Shropshire)
     Oswestry
     Selattyn
     Whittington
     Linley

Chester
     Crewe

......and many other surnames connected to geographic locations.  A sample page from the county Salop is shown below.

 This analysis helped group and separate several surnames and their relationship among the branches of my JONES family tree.
