mysteries, contradictions, & controversies about Luttrell history and genealogy
THE WEBMASTER
So, who appointed me to be "webmaster" of "TheLuttrells.com"?
Well, one day in 1999, after beginning my indoctrination into the world of internet domains, I was checking out domain names that were interesting to me. I checked out "Luttrell.com". . .TAKEN (by someone with NO Luttrell connection! - I won't even get started on what happened to "Jesus.com"!!!). BUT, "TheLuttrells.com" was available
(so was .net and .org). . . . So I spent $70.00 and reserved www.TheLuttrells.com.
Since childhood (when my Dad told me about a Luttrell castle somewhere near where King Arthur lived) I have been interested in learning more about
my ancestors and the cousins who bore
my name. Dad did tell me to expect to find
some less than shining "knights" in the
family history closet.
Years later came a son (who was much more
focused on his pursuit of learning than I had
been) and the internet (thanks again, Al).
Eric's voracious appetite for Luttrell AND
Middle Ages history (primarily Norman) and
the accessibility of many titillating tidbits of
Luttrell legend through the "information superhighway" compelled my romantic side to hereafter wander in search of the holy grail of ancestral knowledge.
I know there are greater knights upon the research field. I can, at least, shine their armor and highlight their victories.
In honor of all the other crusading Luttrell history knights, this site is birthed.
