Robert lI d'Estouteville - d'Estutevilles

Nina Serna I sent a message to the profile managers asking them to address the inconsistencies, and also referenced your discussion here.

Coincidentally Nina I am working on this line right now and you are right, it is absolutely confusing. I have 7 resources and most don’t match, so just yesterday I reached out to other curators who curate medieval Europe and ask for advice, and a consensus on how I should proceed.

If you look a bit further you will see that ROBERT I and his son Robert II has the same wife, depending on the source.

Keep your eyes on this, I hope to make it make sense soon.

Thank you David

David thank you very much for the quick response, and to Nina for calling it to our attention. By the way, he is my 26th g-grandfather! :)

Thank you, David, for taking this project on.

I hope everyone has patience ...

Hi all,
I've started with the updates on the d'Estouteville Family, and I see that Erica knows what is there already, This family, besides being confusing in itself, has limited documentation, but what is there is frequently contradictory.

Here is my plan, and it will take time.
1) the first three generations are really scrambled in documentation so I'm working through that now, and there will probably bee some differences from what has been shown for a while, but in the end I will summarize my logic with a white paper that explains why I made the choices I did.
2) there are 15 generation of the French line, I will work down that line first once I get the siblings for generation 3 work out. I am working the children of Robert III right now. I have a source for the first 25 generation of the French line and may go there because...see #4
3) when the French line is complete I'll go back up to generation 3-4 where the English lines break off and work them
4) I'll bet you didn't know that this family has an Italian line using the name Tuttavilla, if Geni has them I'm thinking of connecting them to the long 25 generation tree I have that runs through 1596.

I want to clarify the issues around the numbering for Robert, this family has a Robert is almost every generation. I'm thinking along the lines of
...the French line will be named d'Estouteville
...the English line will be named Stuteville
...the Italian line will be named Tuttavilla

I spend a couple of 3-4 hours per day so keep and eye on things
