Mobirise

It's more than just Domesday.

Pedigrees, maps, portraits, coats of arms, scrolls, and haplotrees. Domesday DNA is the historical and genetic study of one Domesday Book baron and his origins, manors, lands, grants, favors from the king, and his descendants to the present day.  A comprehensive study into one Domesday family that leads to potentially thousands of descendants. 

DOMESDAY DNA
EDGEWORTH

The Domesday Book, compiled in 1086, stands as a testament to the meticulous nature of the Norman lords. Using the information gathered in this ancient tome, one can discover connections between manors, lords, and tenants that span generations. These connections unearth the origins of some Domesday families and their tenants. Edgeworth manor of Gloucestershire is one of these connected estates and the first tenants descend from an eminent Domesday baron. 

Domeday DNA reveals the identity of the first lord to use the Edgeworth surname. Holding manors from the Welsh Marches to the Cotswolds, he was one of King William’s tenants-in-chief and a servientes regis. He was also a vassal of famous Domesday lords including Roger of Lacy, Robert of Stafford, and Durand of Gloucester. New evidence of his origins unlocks in the DNA of his descendants.
