Ranulph FITZALAN - Fact or Fiction?

[strathbrook]

Thank you, this is an excellent record to have.

I found some relevant on-line material that doesnt seem to have been reported in this thread, and it introduces a new theory for Ranulph/Ralph.
Its Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families, 2nd Edition, 2011. and is on-line at this link.
http://books.google.com.au/books/about/Magna_Carta_Ancestry_A_Study_in_Colonial.html?id=8JcbV309c5UC&redir_esc=y
Refer to Pages 418-421
There is another briefer reference (seemingly contradictory?) at p 190

thank you so much for this information, i will be trying to purchase this book of Douglas Richardson as well. I just want my family tree to be accurate which i am sure many others feel the same.

Marilyn, Just to let you know that Douglas Richardson published his "Royal Ancestry" at the end of 2013 - it was intended to replace both "Magna Carta Ancestry" AND "Plantagenet Ancestry", and contains the most up-to-date research of all three.
(The only problem I have with his excellent books is that he doesn't despatch to the UK, so my set had to be sent to a friend in the US who then posted them on to me.)

Hello, I tried so hard a few weeks ago, to purchase the latest edition of Magna Carta and Plantagenet Ancestry. If Royal Ancestry has the information I need then I will try to order, however, I had the same problem, no delivery to Australia. I do not know anyone in the USA. Did you purchase Royal Ancestry and find the answers to the questions? Am happy to purchase. Do you think your friend would be willing to help me out. Thank you.

[Thameslass]

I bought 'Plantagenet Ancestry' as I didn't know that 'Royal Ancestry' had been published - I just wish they'd told me about it when I enquired about ordering and delivery to the UK.
It's especially annoying as much of 'Plantagenet Ancestry' is viewable online at http://tinyurl.com/onl6j7q

Much of 'Magna Carta Ancestry' is also viewable - http://tinyurl.com/p53egzd

(Sorry my friend won't be able to help you.)

[strathbrook]

Thank you anyway for the information, I will keep trying other avenues to purchase the book. Will probably try to purchase all three if I can. Then its done. Very grateful for your message. Cheers

There are a number of companies which offer freight forwarding services to Australia from the USA.

Eg: myus, stackry and reship, and of course courier companies such as Fedex.

I know someone who has successfully used this:

Good luck.

Thank you so much, ever grateful. I normally do not shop online, so its all a bit confusing.
