Genealogy - Godwin fitz Herbert (1165)
I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here. This individual was born around 1165. Genealogy research is often relatively easy these days going back to the mid 1800s or so just because there is so much info available online (census records, birth records, and so on). It starts to get somewhat harder after that. If you find info back much further it's likely because your ancestor was part of a wealthy or royal family. 1165 is going way back so I realize I have to take not only the info for this person but the path from me to him with a grain or two of salt. The notes at the bottom give more info on his ancestors going even further back.
The closest relationship Gramps calculates for me is as a first cousin twenty-three times removed.
Sources:
Research comes from a variety of online sources, original documents and personal knowledge. Generally, if the source was from another researcher online, their original sources are used. More information and details about the sources can sometimes be found by clicking on the associated link at the bottom in the "Source References" section.
The information below is an extract from a report I generated via the Gramps genealogy software from a family tree I originally created with GenoPro and then modified to look reasonable here (as much as I could anyway).
