[HPFGU-OTChatter] John of Gaunt (was No Rowling entry ...)

[Jennifer Thomassian]

Hi Sarah,

 I saw your entry and I got so excited that I ran to my genealogy books and found him!  I knew I was related to John of Gaunt and also to all of 'the Edwards'!!!!  I kept going through and found TONS of Hastings!  I have a Sir John Hastings with the same birth date and place as your Sir John, but mine is listed as being married to an Isabella Spencer (or Despencer).  There is a small #2 next to her name and I am assuming that she must be a second wife.  Sir John Hastings father was Hugh Hastings and John and Isabella's son was also named Hugh.  I see that you have also mentioned the Fitz Alan line on your site and didn't have time to look at it in depth (5 kids) yet, but I have a lot of info on that line too as they are also my ancestors.  it is ironic that there are so many people in our history that fought the Scots, as I am almost half Scottish!  We have A LOT of royalty on my Dad's side and it really does bring history to life, doesn't it?  I am in the process of entering my family history on my computer and it is taking some time but I love it.  Maybe we can compare some notes if you like.  

Talk soon,

Jennifer Thomassian  (nee Isom)

  John of Gaunt for the House of Gaunt connection, if any

  John of Gaunt's father, Edward III was my great(x20) grandad.  (My 
  other interest apart from Harry Potter is my family genealogy).  Does 
  this mean that by any twist of the imagination I am the heir of 
  Slytherin?

  No, thought not! 

  If you're interested in my family tree (I find it interesting anyway) 
  you can look at
