Families covered: Clapham of Clapham

                               
The original lower section of this page has been moved to Clapham2 and a new lower section has been added to show an alternative pedigree for the Thomas (Thomlyn) who lived in the early 1400s. Some names are shared by the two pedigrees so it is not unlikely that at least some of the people mentioned were indeed ancestors of that Thomas. Whilst it is of course certain that at least one of the pedigrees must we wrong, and we are somewhat sceptical of the lower one, we suggest that both pedigrees should be viewed with caution.

FMG starts with the following Jonas who is identified as "3rd son of Alphonsus, Duke of Lorraine, 6th son of Pharamond, King of France". We assume that that was the Pharamond, King of the Franks (d 425), whom we show in the Ancient section of the database (here). We do not make the connection because it has the appearance of being apocryphal.
