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!
How can the internet gurus allow that? ). 
 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.  

Its been an interesting experience, learning about these ancestors from Ireland, England and Normandy.  How much further back they go, I cannot document.  Others do make wild claims about various Luttrell ancestors, but I prefer some kind of documentation.  As I quickly learned on beginning this quest, so many want to claim descent from only the noble and powerful.  There are two castles where our ancestors in Ireland and England lived.  We can only claim one, while our cousins claim the other, either in Ireland (Luttrellstown) or in England (Dunster) but we very well may all descend from one great ancestor, a sir knight who was talented in diplomacy and accounting and, apparently, able to stay in constant favor of a powerful but ruthless king.  

We (Luttrells of England, Ireland, Australia and America) are fortunate that there is such a rich treasury of documentation of so many of those carrying our name.  Yet the gaps prevent a definitive linkage to those we feel certain are ours.  That is my current consternation.  After 25 years of research, online, in libraries and genealogy centers and even travelling to one of "our" castles, I still search for a definitive connection to my emigrant Irish ancestor's family.

If you have documented information about any of the above branches of the Luttrell family tree, I would appreciate seeing it.  Email me with documents such as WILLs, birth, death, marriage records (even in a family Bible), and deeds are great documents 
to establish ancestry.  But, information copied off the internet, 
without such documents, are not really that valuable.  
If I believed everything I see online, I'm probably related to this guy. . . !
Copyrighted by somebody associated with the great show on History Channel, "Vikings", I'm sure. And, really, being descended from Floki wouldn't be that bad. . .actually, better than some I am descended from.
