Many families in North America and Europe are descended from the William the Conqueror. Good record keeping of royal and noble families combined with modern genealogical databases now make it possible to trace many of today's families back for many centuries. This book does exactly that. It is not a history; it is a link-by-link genealogy connecting thousands of people alive today to this historic royal line. Requiring over 900 pages, in three volumes this work traces over 1500 families from William the Conqueror, King of England. In Volume one the first 18 generations of William's descendants are traced. Volume two continues with generations 19 through 23, and the final Volume three presents generations 24 through 31. All of the families are listed in the introduction.
