When a line becomes a circle


Apparently Richard, the Fearless, Duke of Normandy (933-996) was having kids all over the place.  He's my triple ancestor on the Frost side.

Before Richard was married, he had an illegitimate son, Godfrey (my 35th generation grandpa). Later, Richard married Gonnor de Crepon and had Robert D'evereaux and Emma Goda.  Which makes Gonnor my 35th and 38th generation grandmother respectively. And because Godfrey was illegitimate, I have no idea who his mother was.

I think this would be a good time to say that I'm kind of happy that I had to go back that far to find a full circle.
