Note: NEW INDIVIDUAL, PER ZEBOSKI FILE
The James River Genealogy Research Team reviewed data from a family tree file from a Childers Family Association committee, chaired by Mrs. Virginia Zeboski (widow of Walt Zeboski, of Sacramento, California) which in 1980 engaged the services of Ms. Gail Brisco, a professional researcher in Doncaster, Yorkshire, England to scour the records in England for proof of the earliest known Childers/Childress ancestral lines. In the fall of 1985 a "Research Team" brought back duplicate records of those found and cited by Ms. Brisco in an effort to double-check the accuracy and validity of said documents. Generally speaking, the dates of life events and the individuals themselves very closely matched those of the Dennstedt Thesis. Where new individuals have been added to this Dennstedt tree, we have attempted to identify the source as this new data. In the event life event dates are changed and/or relationships have changed, we try to note the data change in this note section.
The birth date of Ralph Chelders was subjectively selected based on the fact that his earliest known child was born in 1572. Ralph could have been somewhat earlier, but likely not much later than the "about 1545" date.
THIS INDIVIDUAL REPRESENTS THE MOST DISTANT ANCESTOR that the Childers/Childress James River Viking Clan could identify using reasonably sound information, most of which has been checked and referenced to original documents. The surname “Childers" was a common derivative of "Chelders" and is found in the Doncaster and York areas of England. We hope to continue our research into the beginnings of our common heritage in England using factual stories, documents and Y-DNA results as viewed through our Childers-Childress James River Viking FTDNA.com website.
