I am descended (if nobody lied!) from Sir Walter Raleigh's Auntie Joan.

All the men in that family were called Wimond or Walter. They all married Catherines, daughter of - Edgecombe. I have seen a page setting out (at least) FIVE comparative pedigrees because everyone got confused about whether Dad was a Wimond or a Walter, and whether Catherine was a mother, or the third wife.

It is distressing easy to get generations muddled when you are just clicking the next link, but it has always happened, even in printed pedigrees. (and I'm not guaranteeing that I haven't done it myself!)
