Famous Cousins #2 - Alec Baldwin + Baldwin Brothers

Alec Baldwin

And the Other Ones

And now its time to look at another famous cousin!

This guy's name is Alec Baldwin. Finally, when people see that your last name is Baldwin on a form or medical sheet and inevitably, incessantly, invariably ask you, "Are you related to Alec Baldwin!?!?" you can say "YES, we are related. Now go away!" before you lamely tip over a plastic picture frame on their desk and awkwardly stumble away, only to return sheepishly, because remember, you still have an appointment there.

Not only that, but now you can also know exactly HOW this family relationship came to be...

Noble Ancestors #1 - Charlemagne (742 - 814)

I'm going to get this one written up and out of the way, first.

Charlemagne.

This guy!

"Hey, everybody! I'm yo' grandad!"

Noble Ancestors - Intro Post

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we can trace my 9th great-grandmother Elizabeth Alsop back further to King Edward I of England. So, then, from the charts below, we can see that King Edward I is my 22nd great-grandfather. Each generation farther back can accurately chronicle another generation of royal ancestors, as far as historians and the general consensus are aware.

In the lineages below, I have listed Elizabeth back to Edward I. Then, Edward I back to William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders. Then, Matilda back to Alfred the Great. These lines are the most accurate to my knowledge.

My Baldwin Family Line. Let the blog commence?

HEY, YOU GUYS!

I made a blog.

The purpose of this blog is to post family tree research that I and others have done, and to share it with interested people, most probably within my family. Hi family!

Also strange, random, internet stalkers.

Hi stalkers!

I need to try to figure out the information-privacy balance, so for now I will try to limit information on currently living generations.

I guess a good first post would be to list all of the generations I have on the direct paternal Baldwin line, including all of my g-g-grandmothers. This can form the spine for what I will delve into and talk about later. Consider this the main trunk of the tree. Interesting stories and posts will almost always refer back to this main line.
