I put Smer's "dad" Arthur, Guinevere, and GrandPa Uther(980) in the tree.
Along with his GGP Cynyr Ceinfarfog(953) and GGGP Agricola of the Long Hand(926)

And I shall stop at that, as far as this tree goes, I will look no further. There is a grand conundrum in the force. One school says Arthur was born in the 4th or 5th century, while others say the 9th-10th. Then others say he is a complete fiction.

Not My Job..

I built the tree from today back to Smer. So I didn't have a perception of who or where it would lead. I entered myself, my dad, GP, GGP as I already data, mass cards, and pictures. On my mom's side, I managed to get back to GGG pa & ma.

Ancestry dot com made suggestions using my info and matching it to their data and other family trees.

Occasionally the matching algorithm would suggest: do you think this Bill Johnson or this Bill Johnson. But not many, so the tree built rather quickly.

The 1st colonizer to die in the USA, was Isaac Johnson, B:15 Dec 1615 Ware End, Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England,, D:18 Dec 1675 The Great Swamp Fight at Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA

Before Isaac migrated, multiple generations back to Smer, the fathers, mothers, and siblings had peerage titles, not 100%, but more than not.

At least one Duke, couple Marquesses, and several "Sir"(presumably Knights??)

As I understand it, the UK peerage system of old was built on a buddy system that surpasses the current Democratic party. So I didn't pay much attention, but now after "filling in" those 18 generations,, maybe there is some truth to Smer's parent peerage??


Again, Thank you all for the suggestions and pointers
