2. Sverker Karl and Njal's Saga [1]
Eke Ohlmarks in his "Alla Sveriges Kungar" and "Alla Sveriges Drottningar" makes mention of a Sverker Karl or Svrkver Kol who he says is mentioned in Njal's Saga. Mr. Ohlmarks believes him to be the grandfather of Blot-Sven and Great-great grandfather to Sverker den Gamle. Whether this is true is up for debate as well. I have a copy of the 1955 English translation of Njal's Saga by Bayerschmidt and Hollander, but I can't seem to find this Sverker Karl mentioned. There are a few Kol's mentioned however,

4. An inquistion - help needed [1]
I came across this inquisition ( C. Inq. Misc. File 153 [1345]) Devon, which I am having difficulty understanding. It states "Thomas Basset, who had held the manors of Whiteford and Colyton Colcombe with the hundred of Colyton, the fishery of the water of Axe, and all other appurtenances by the King's gift, died seised thereof, after whose decease the manors descended to Alice and Joan, his daughters and heirs, between whom with their assent they were divided; the said Alice having for her share a moiety

8. So Who Was GILES FIENNES? (re: Vernon) [1]
Heading into the sunset near the top of my screen is a thread dealing with corrections to the 7th edition of Weis's "Ancestral Roots," mainly discussion between Paul Gifford and Todd Farmerie. I am starting the thread anew, concentrating only on Paul's question about "Giles de Fenes (now, who was he? An illegitimate younger brother of Sir William de Fiennes, maybe?)" I'm not sure of the dates involved in all of this, but I believe we all are in the same neighborhood. My notes include a Giles de Fynes/Fienne

11. ANY information on Acevedo (Spain, later Mexico, not medieval:)) [1]
As the subject says I am looking for any information or pointers to the origin of this name. About two weeks ago, while in Disneyland..:) I saw a book where they had a few thousand surnames and you could ask them to give you a few pages of information on each one. The problem was that they were selling the information on each surname for 17 USD, printed on a medieval-looking piece of paper, with the appropriate medieval type. >From what I saw on a computer screen, the Acevedos show up around 980 in
12. Re: The wives of Robert de Quincy (?) [1]
Tom Camfield asks whether the Robert de Quincy reported as marrying Hawise of Chester (Weis, line 54) is the same person as the Robert de Quincy who married Elen ferch Llewelyn (Weis, line 236). I think the answer is no: The Robert who married Hawise of Chester is the uncle of the Robert who married Elen ferch Llewelyn. The statement in Weis (line 54-28) that "Robert de Quincy, son of Saher de Quincy and Margaret de Beaumont (53-27); m. Hawise o
13. Re[2]: Adam & Eve Lines, Part 1 [1]
I am new to the group, but I am disappointed to see the emphasis on creationism and royal genealogies in the correspondence I've received to date. This emphasis may appeal to a "genealogist elite", but it does nothing to promote entry to the field by newcomers. I would like to see greater emphasis on more mundane topics like research methods and genealogy for the common man (and woman) as they apply to medeival times. Making it easier for newcomers to enjoy genealogy

15. Which King Malcolm of Scotland was the grandfather of Thorfinn Sigurdson, Earl of Orkney? [1]
In previous postings Todd A. Farmerie discussed the issues of whether Mael Coluim mac Mael Brigti of the Cenel Loairn or Mael Coluim II Mael Cinaeda of the Cenel nGabrain was Thorfinn Sigurdson's granfather. The Orkneyinga Saga relates that "Thorfinn was five winters old when his father fell. When the King of Scots heard of the Earl's death he bestowed Caithness and Sutherland upon his grandson with the title of Earl, and gave him the men to rule the dominion along with him." Thorf
16. Ancestry of THOMAS DURFEE, born 1643 in England [1]

20. BRAZELTON [1]
I am looking for any reference to the name BRAZELTON before 1650 anywhere in the world. IGI has provided little. Starting to look beyond the strictly English origin. Some possibilities include: Welsh, Irish, German, Heugenout (French & Swiss), Dutch, also a small and bizarre tip seems to indicate a Jewish origination. The family may have had Quaker connections as well. David Strain dave9049@aol.com
