I was told that I did not have a people, and that I was Heinz-57!
That was 20 years ago. It sparked my imagination, so I started using Ancestry.com, looking at their database over the years.
You know I found out that my sister-in-law was right, I am Heinz-57, the following is a short list, since there is too much information to put on this one web page!
In short everyone in this World Are My People!

It really looks like Ancestry.com, has finally gotten the DNA Analysis close to my actual Ancestry!
My Ancestors in .pdf files Based on Ancestry.com's Database Information cross checked with the King James Bible, Wikipedia.com and other online source web sites.
And so it goes on and on....
After looking at my tree for 20 years, Its my hobby now that I'm retired, something to do...
Now I cannot watch the History programs on TV without seeing an ancestor....
This web page is a culmination of what I have learned the past 20 years, and there is no room for everything in Ancient World History on this web page!
If you do not see what you want on this page go to:YouTube.com
Locate the search box, and type in the country, or war's name, or person's name.
You Tube over the years has grown so much that everyone can use it to learn just about anything!
Wikipedia is a good source for detailed information, and Researching People, places, etc.: http://www.wikipedia.org/
Ancestry web site is good source for finding your long lost relatives, and they help you along.: http://www.ancestry.com/
I use Wikipedia to verify dates of birth and death and other good information about my ancestors, always cross checking Ancestry.com's data bases, I do not take anything at face value, I always have to check it out!
I Hope everyone enjoys looking at the page.
Alfred Landon Peterson - Webmaster, I still do not know everything there is to know, but I'm still learning at 64 years old...
And I did not like World History in school! But now I find it Very Interesting because it shows me my Ancestors, so it makes this personal!

My 33rd Great Grand Father was the Viking ROLLO, and my 33rd Great Grand Uncle was the Viking RAGNAR.
Watching the Vikings on the History channel on TV I noticed that ROLLO married
my 33rd Great Grand Mother, the King of France Daughter!
The King of France was the Grand Son of Charles I Charlemagne, my other great grand father, Small World!
Source: The Duchy of Normandy
The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and Rollo, leader of the Vikings.
From 1035 to 1135 it was held by the Norman kings of England and then, after 15 years of government by Stephen of Blois and Geoffrey Plantagenet,
it was held by the Angevin kings of England from 1150 to 1204. Normandy was conquered by Philip II of France in 1204 and remained disputed territory until the Treaty of Paris of 1259,
when the English sovereigns ceded their claim, except for the Channel Islands.
The title of "Duke of Normandy" was then sporadically conferred in the kingdom of France as an honorific but non-feudal title, the last one having been Louis XVII of France from 1785 to 1789.
