RN #210 John Trevor Chronology

Detail chronologies are part of tree climbing.  The large number of individuals that shared the name "John Trevor" were shorted through.   This notebook contains chronologies of the various family groups that share this name. [1300 - 1700]  It was necessary to utilize a coding system which gave each individual their own identity.   The follow is an example of the research contained within this notebook.

It shows the major branches of the group from John Trevor Hen (JQ-29).  He had five sons not named John, but each of these branches hand a son name John.  John Trevor (JS-40), John Trevor (JS-8), John Trevor (JS-35) and John Trevor (JT-24). Color coding also helps to keep the branches straight.
Well, John Trevor(s) here we come.

RN #209 John Trevor(s) from 1357

Those folks that share the same name, during the same historic period, within the same general geographic area, can be a real problem for the genealogist.  Keeping all these folks separated and identified can be tricky, especially if they are the window to your own family tree.  For my own JONES family tree, the name "John Trevor" is an example.

This notebook contains my research and organization into the name "John Trevor".  This name appears in many historic documents, along the branches of my JONES family tree.  The identity of these folks becomes confusing very quickly, and very often.  My research came to show that there were at least 26 different individuals that were given this name! 

[I was in my "Roman Numeral" phase of coding during this research.  Therefore, the names are coded using this numbering system.]

John Trevor (I) of Trevor Hall, Bishop of St. Asaph 1352-1357 d. 1357
John Trevor (II)  became Bishop of St. Asaph 1394 d. ca. 1410
John Trevor Hen (III) 1st of Brynkynallt
John Trevor (IV) of Brynkynallt
.... other John Trevor in sequence to
John Morely Trevor (XVI)

There were basically three separate family branches that shared this name.  These were the branches at Brynkynallt, Trevallyn, and Hope.

RN #155 Trevor Family of Glynde Place

This notebook contains my early research work into the surname Trevor.  It was necessary to distinguish the many, many folks inter-twined with my surname JONES.  There were also a great number of "John Trevor" [at least 16 different individuals with this name] that had to be separated.
