Evelyn's Ancestry, the Line Goes On
Evelyn’s Ancestry
******
Royalty in America
By
Sharon Martin
I didn’t get a computer until late in my life. I knew I would like it too much. I do.
I am a research junkie. I love to dig and I love learning. Every single day. It’s my best friend. I have never used the word “bored” in my life, each pause in my life is filled with learning, memories, interest, eating, or meditation. My life is full.
So genealogy is of great interest to me and I love it. I leave it for months, then something pops up and I’m back. Maybe it’s thoughts of a mother I don’t remember, a grandmother I never knew, an old friend or a favorite aunt that crosses my mind. All are part of the person that I am.
But Royalty? Wow!
Last year, 2014, my goal was to put our family in the LDS genealogy system. Partly because my mother, Evelyn Eunice Van Horn Grey, chose to embrace the Mormon faith, and partly because they have a world wide site, and share it with the world at no charge. We traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, to meet the Mormons in 2013, we stayed for a week, and we were impressed with their generosity, and their charity, both important parts of their religion. The Genealogy building is staffed with world class technicians, all volunteers. They assisted us, helped us find an ancestor, made us copies of our research, and would not accept any money. It’s what they do. It’s part of their giving. Not only their money, but their time. We were happy that we went, another amazing story, but back to the Family Tree!
So back home, here in the Manistee National Forest, where Jim and I have lived longer than anywhere else in the world, I painstakingly began feeding our family information into the system at www.familysearch.com. My hands are giving me fits this year, and I cannot use my keyboard for too long before I am in trouble, so it took awhile because with dates, its very easy to make mistakes.
I was amazed to see our family blend in and attach to the ancestors already in the system. On a couple of different occasions, I just kept going, to see how far back I could go, from generation to generation, and finally I did it, I ended up at “Adam”! Wow
Still not convinced, I went back several generations, until I found a “Sir” or a “Count” and then I took that name and vitals and I Googled them, and I was amazed to find reams of information and history about each one. I found Princes and Princesses, counts and queens of all sorts of “countries” which I never knew existed. I also researched the towns in Europe which were mentioned, and found that many of these hundreds and hundreds of year old towns are alive and thriving! They had tours of the castles where my relatives were buried, they had newsletters and festivals and bed and breakfasts. I was in Info-heaven!! There were burial grounds still kept up, and history after history record of all of the battles and births, the marriages and mysteries thru the ages, of the royal families and their kin and friends. They had it all!
So one night, I think it was half way thru our third western on the Encore channel, I decided to copy down all of my ancestors in a line, all the way back to Adam. Sometimes I had to make several attempts to connect, but I did it for the second or third time. I was hooked! Evelyn came from Royalty. Hay, that’s my mother!
I think you will be impressed!
Before you go off to Europe to claim your lands, be advised that they were probably lost in some long ago war. Being a friend of a king who fell into disfavor with the monthly marauding hoard would do it, as would being a Christian or a Tory or a Healer, or a Saint. Hence our relatives probably came to this new world, hopeful poor and ambitious, along with the rest. Too bad, isn’t? It would have been fun.
The good news is this. Royals, royalty, the aristocracy, whatever, kept very good records. And the LDS church has saved a lot of them for us. So do enjoy a trip thru the ages, visit the towns and the castles, research the names, and along the way, meet some of your living relatives who are listed to be contacted.
I have never paid money to join a site, or for information, there’s too much there at no cost whatsoever, and that’s what Genealogy should be. A thank you to all of the wonderful volunteers who work to keep it that way.
Another site which I use regularly is www.findagrave.com, its free to join, and there is no charge. Volunteers have taken photo’s of gravesites all over America, and the names and pictures are all posted in a page that allows you to leave a note and flowers for your ancestor, and you can even add things like an obituary, a picture, or a story which you might have and want to share. Sometimes you can contact relatives who have listed links to contact them.
Some dedicated volunteers are even posting obituaries from newspapers! That is an amazing resource . Recently I found a picture attached to the grave of my great grandparents! It will be there forever! And I met an interesting person by email who did it!
Since the list I wrote down in longhand, of Evelyn’s Ancestors was long, and yes, messy, I decided I could type it up if I took my time. That way Aunt Lila, her only living sister, can read it. I hope to have it done for her Birthday so I better get going. She will be 92 next week.
I hope you love reading it as much as I did, and please enjoy the information pages which I printed out.
One note about www.familysearch.com , if you are looking for your family line, you must use a deceased person’s name who is in their system. Folks like me, with no death date, well, they protect our identity, so use A grandparent or a great grandparent’s name.

Where and what was PONTHIEU??
Well, here it is today!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponthieu was one of six feudal counties that eventually merged to become part of the Province of Picardy, in northern France.[1] Its chief town is Abbeville.

A recent map, there is lots of tourism here, and I think WWII battle of Normandy perhaps others. Go and Visit!!

Charlemagne Crowned as Holy Roman Emperor
When the people of western Europe awoke on this day, December 26, 800, they had an emperor again. On Christmas Day, as King Charles of France knelt in prayer before the altar of the church of St. Peter's in Rome, Pope Leo III suddenly placed a golden crown on his head.
The Roman people shouted three times, "To Charles Augustus, crowned by God, the great and pacific emperor of the Romans, life and victory!" Charles was reverenced by the pope and called Emperor and Augustus, after the manner of the leaders of ancient Rome.
What led up to this dramatic event? Three hundred years and more had passed since the collapse of the Roman Empire in western Europe. Many elements were at work. For one thing, the popes owed the Franks a great debt for their preservation in recent years. Charles Martel had turned back the Muslim invasion of Europe and Peppin had subdued the Lombards. Another reason for the pope to crown Charles was to show Rome's independence from the Greek Empire in Constantinople. Since the days of Constantine in the fourth century, the eastern part of the Roman Empire had increased in authority and power. In Charles, King of the Franks, the pope had found a new Constantine to head a revived western empire.
To be sure, Charles was an empire-builder. He had become master of the French kingdom in 768 and used his military might to forcibly bring the German tribes under his authority, forcing them to accept baptism and become Christians. His cruelty has been blamed for the Viking invasions which troubled Europe for over a century. His dominion stretched from the Baltic Sea to the British Channel to Rome itself. Charles worked diligently to provide a good, unified organization for his vast empire.
When King Charles returned to France after being crowned emperor, he forced his subjects to take an oath to him as Caesar. He re-established the Roman Empire on a Teutonic base.
The coronation of Charles sparked much debate during the middle ages. At issue was what relationship of church to state. Did the act of crowning the emperor show the pope's superior authority as giver of the empire to King Charles? Charles didn't think so. He continued to rule as the divinely appointed protector of the church, appointing bishops as well as counts to office.
He was not only the first, but possibly the greatest of the emperors from the eighth through the nineteenth century. He restored education, improved law, supported the church, backed Alcuin's attempts to produce an accurate Bible and in many other ways did much that was good. In France, his name was blended with his greatness, and he is known as Charlemagne.
Pepin “The Short”, King of Franks, Franks, B. 714, France Father of Charlemagne
M. Bertrada, Countess of Laon
Legacy
Pepin died during a campaign, in 768 at the age of 54. He was interred in the church of Saint Denis. His wife Bertrada was also interred there in 783. Charlemagne rebuilt the Basilica in honor of his parents and placed markers at the entrance.
The Frankish realm was divided according to the Salic Law between his two sons: Charlemagne and Carloman.
Historical opinion often seems to regard him as the lesser son and lesser father of two greater men, though a great man in his own right. He continued to build up the heavy Cavalry which his father had begun. He maintained the standing army that his father had found necessary to protect the realm and form the core of its full army in wartime. He not only contained the Iberian Muslims as his father had, but drove them out of the country and, as important, he managed to subdue the Aquitanians and the Basques after three generations of on-off clashes, so opening the gate to central and southern Gaul and Muslim Iberia. He continued his father's expansion of the Frankish church (missionary work in Germany and Scandinavia and the institutional infrastructure (Feudalism) that would prove the backbone of medieval Europe.
His rule, while not as great as either his father's or son's, was historically important and of great benefit to the Franks as a people. Pepin's assumption of the crown, and the title of Patrician of Rome, were harbingers of his son's imperial coronation which is usually seen as the founding of the Holy Roman Empire..

History of Troy
The Kingdom of Troy was originally founded about 5000 years ago. Originally a mercantile city, it grew to be one of the world's wealthiest nations by about 1200 BCE. The rulers of Troy until that time gradually added on to their capital and control of the surrounding area. However, the great Trojan War destroyed the capital at the height of its power.
Later on the same site, Romans established a new Troy in 1st century BCE. This city eventually declined and disappeared in the late Byzantine Era.
It is believed that the power of the Kingdom of Troy extended as far South as Pedasus and Mt. Ida and North to Apaesus. It is this region the reestablished Kingdom of Troy claims.
So this was the big one, covered a lot of Europe, very powerful! Your relatives were the Royalty of this country! There are many pictures of the ruins on line for us to see.

So much is Myth, thanks Homer, that it is not clear to me
Which is which! Remember the Trojan Horse?
The Trojan army defending the great city of Troy, led by their king Priam, had assistance from a long list of allies. These included the Carians, Halizones, Kaukones, Kikones, Lycians, Maionians, Mysians, Paionians, Paphlagonians, Pelasgians, Phrygians, and Thracians.
The Trojans, too, had their semi-divine heroes and these included Hektor (son of Priam), Aeneas, Sarpedon, Glaukos, Phorkys, Poulydamas, and Rhesos. The Trojans also had help from the gods, receiving assistance during the battle from Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, and Leto.
