"Broadside" Long Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Thought my mates at the Pub might enjoy this. I am in the process of tracing my genealogy and stumbled across a line of Christians from the Isle of Man. It turns out that a branch of this particular family includes the famed Fletcher Christian. It also "appears" that I could be a direct descendant of William Christian or Illiam Dhone (Brown-haired William) who fought Cromwellian forces on the Isle of Man and was executed for his troubles. I've done quite a lot of research and this seems to be a legitimate line. Thought some of you might get a kick out of this!

Skull pyrate Carter Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I've traced mine to Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Peregrine White, Sir William Bradford, Aaron Burr and others.... It's like being a detective.

Paisley Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 do any of you have documentation?? birth/death/marriage records? i'm really into it. so far i have one line documented back to the late 1600's. there's an old...lol...saying...

Skull pyrate Carter Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I have some documentation. My grandfather proved his lineage to Perigrine White for acceptance into the Mayflower Society. Some of the Royal Lineage is well documented, as well.
