Our line dates back to the First Duke of Normandy in the year 930 AD. Gaange Rolf Rollo's children birthed the royal lines of both England and France, evolving in titles over the centuries and producing the great kings and queens of old. Our line fell around the 15th century when one of our ancestors fell out of favor with the king of England. From there, our line traveled across the sea to Salem Massachusetts. There our ancestor changed our destiny by marrying a woman named Anne Alcock. This woman was charged with witchcraft and even her daughter and granddaughter, out of fear, testified against her.
She however made a deal with the court that, should she plead guilty, her family would not be charged with the same accusations. The deal was accepted, and Anne died in her cell before her execution. Though exempt from accusation, Anne's daughter feared anything that could give suspicion to her or her daughter. Fearing tales of witchcraft and fearing what a reputation of descending from English royalty might bring her in America, she did not pass on the story of our ancestry to her children.
For the next three centuries, our family history was lost until intensive research conducted over the span of six years uncovered the story of what happened, who we are, and where we come from. Below is a condensed view of our family line in its most basic bloodline form. More ancestors are verified every day and multiple lines lead to the same common ancestors. This is but a snapshot of our line.
