Ancestry/Genealogy

They have his ancestors going back to 200 AD.

I've got some of the same ancestors on one of my FamilySearch trees.

Mine are supposedly through someone named John Cotton who came to Virginia.

John Winslow's and John Cotton's ancestors diverge into separate branches around 1,000 AD.
They supposedly share Robert Capet and go back to 200 AD from there.

I have no idea if I am related to these people.

However, I am amazed that there are family trees that go back this far!!!!


For what it's worth, my other half is Armenian. I only know the names of my second great grandparents. There is no family tree. All records were destroyed. My great grandfather tried writing a narrative in old country prose, but names such as, "Hasso the Mysterious Horseman", "Goofar the Starry-Eyed Lover" and "Ashek the Minstrel" seem more like family-lore than facts.
