2026: My Hartley Family Tree has now reached a total of well over 120,000 people, all related to me and my Hartley family.

I am currently working on Ancient Lines, and I'm unearthing famous historic figures who are kin, every week. Here is a list of just some of the direct family matches I have found so far ...

Joseph and Mary ... my 59th Great Grandparents. Which makes Jesus and his brother James my 58th Great Grandfathers, through two separate lines back to my mother's family, via Britons, Romans, Thuringians, Franks and Normans, including King Henry I, the Norman son of King William I, the Conqueror, my 24th Great Grandfather.

Priam of Troy ... my 63rd Great Grandfather, his children include Helen of Troy, Paris, Troilus, and Hector ... through this line I am directly related to Scythlings and Danish Royalty, to Geats, Finns, Northumbians, Britons, Mercians, the House of Wessex including King Edmund II, my 27th Great Grandfather, Malcolm I McAlpine, Mathilde, King John of England, my 21st Great Grandfather, the Plantagenet Cornwalls, through a specific Hartley line including William Hartley, my 3rd Great Grandfather, through to my father, and me.

Duke Rollo of Normandy ... my 29th Great Grandfather, through the Norman dynasty, King William I, the Conqueror, the Champernownes, Courtenays, Chudleighs, Cliffords, Cutts, to my mother and me.

King Offa of Mercia ... my 28th Great Grandfather. His son Fremund became a Christian as a Hermit on the Isle of Lundy in the Bristol Channel. When the Great 'Heathen' [Pagan] Army invaded England he returned to defend his family home at Offchurch Warwickshire, with only 20 men against 40,000 Norsemen. He was beheaded, the blood turned the River Leam red, hence the 'Red-Ford' became Radford Semele. His body was taken to St Mary's at nearby Cropredy where a special chapel was built. During the 17thC English Civil War his chapel was destroyed, but not before his remains were taken to St Fremund Church, Dunstable, where they still remain today. At Cropredy, my Denzie family named several sons Fremund.
