Family Lines

I have been doing some rather extensive ancestral digging of late. Been sending out loads of e-mails to distant peripheral relations that I do not even know for information. I have learned quite a few intruiging things.

It seems that my grandmother's branch of the family not only traces back to Francis Scott Key, through her father's side, but also traces back to the Plantagenet rulers of England and William the Conqueror on her mother's side.

No wonder there's so many mental instabilities in the family. Freaking inbred royals mucking up the family lines!

It currently seems that a good portion of our line is Swiss (Claude family), French/English (Tilghman), English (Key) and German (Franz). Ack, the french.

I have also located one family crest so far (Tilghman), when I get the scanner working again, I shall throw it on site.
