Welcome to Chris Clarke's Genealogy.
This site contains some of the info on my family tree.  It also contains links to other sites that continue my tree.  Some descendants of my ancestors are included on this site, so to assist me to keep track of my family, my ancestors are in bold.  While the site is developing I will not attempt to produce an index.  Please use PicoSearch.  This will give you the page people are currently on.  You can use your browser's search (Ctrl+F) to find them within that page.  If you disagree with any of the info on this site, you may be correct.  Please tell me about it.

Are we descended from Adam?  Much of this is gleaned from internet sources, and it is only as accurate as those sources.  I have not yet had time to verify most of it, and include it for its novelty value only.

Reading
"Prideaux : a Westcountry clan" by R. M. Prideaux
A very well written book, covering the history, life and times of the clan, following them from Prideaux Castle in 1068 to their spread throughout the world.  Includes many pedigrees.  Essential reading for any Prideaux descendant and anyone interested in the history of the Cornwall area.  If you are visiting Cornwall, this book is a "must".
"Bloodline of the Holy Grail : The Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed" Laurence Gardner
A controversial book based on sovereign and knightly archives of Europe, Templar and Vatican records.  Asserts that Jesus Christ had children and his descendants are in the royal houses of Europe.

Most Family Trees on the www have very little information apart from names, dates and places. I
will be trying to do more than that with this site.  If you know of any good books on my family please let me know so that I can have a read and tell others about them.
