The Ancestors of Janet Lee Ellis

Ancestry on the New England coast of America can often be highly diverse because of colonial immigration and migrant populations. Janet Ellis's ancestry is a great example of this. Not only does she has colonial ancestry from the 'first comers' who came on the Mayflower and soon after, but she has more recent ancestry from Italy. While some of her ancestors fought for their lives against the native Americans in King Philips War in 1675 other ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War 1 and World War II. Her colonial ancestors can be traced back to the Kings and Queens of England, Scotland, France and Spain. Connected to the Merovingian bloodline, her ancestry can be traced back to Babylonian and Biblical times to almost 700 BC and the ancient kings of Ireland.
