The Importance of keeping up with current genealogical research

 

As more and more research is done and available either in publications or on-line, it is important to keep up with all the latest news in Genealogy and DNA research.  Recently The American Genealogist or TAG published a series on the Sanborn or Samborne family’s English ancestry.  The three brothers who immigrated to America were John, Stephen and William Samborne.  For years, it seems like tracing my paternal line resulted in several ancestors with medieval royal ancestors going back to William the Conqueror and Charlemagne.  Sadly, I had never found a connection to my maternal ancestry.  It was not a surprise that two of the Samborne brothers were ancestors on my paternal line with more than one line of descent to myself.   However, my maternal line also had one of these Samborne brothers as my ancestor and at last gave my Mom a connection to European medieval royal ancestry.  Now any of my cousins who are related tmy maternal line through the Moulton side can claim this line as well. Below is the line of descent from John Samborne to my grandmother, Myrtle (Moulton) Buzzell.
