**Note: When I use the word lines as opposed to trees it is because I am working on straight lineage connections to myself, omitting spouses and siblings. In no way shape or form should you do this when working on actual trees because not only can siblings and spouses tell you much valid information but they can also provide information about what happened to the family after the persons death (as in probate records, deeded lands, and remarriages). This paints an incredible picture of the lives of many ancestors. I only provide lines after I've worked on the actual tree enough to provide a good snapshot of my ancestors' heritages.
And like all ancestry work... IT. WILL. NEVER. BE. FULLY. COMPLETED! Also, I am an amateur so anything you take away from this line needs to be fully researched and investigated on your own time.
So here are my two heritage lines (they are the same until #28):

“According to both the Heimskringla Saga and the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein Ivarsson Glumra was the father of Rognvald. The Orkneyinga Saga says Eystein Glumra's earliest ancestor was Fornjot, King of Finland and Kvenland. Fornjot's great-great-grandson was Thorri who had two sons, Norr and Gorr, who emigrated westward. Norr took the mainland called Norway and Gorr took the islands. Gorr's son Heiti was the father of Sveithi (Sveide), the Sea King, who died about 760. Sveithi's son, Halfdan the Old, who died in 800, was the father of Ivar, Earl of the Uplands. And Ivar, in turn, was the father of Eystein Ivarsson Glumra.”
Therefore, the line would be furthered as follows
41. Heiti
42. Gorr
43. Thorri

Lots of names, lots of work and it will never fully be completed but man, isn't it fun to know who you are in the end? I fill very connected to history and to these people as if I have always known them and felt them in my spirit. The tree I am working on lately is Roger Conant's and he is my 11th Great-Grandfather. He is also the founder of Salem, a place I have always felt a deep spiritual connection even when I was very young. Perhaps his soul and the souls of all my ancestors dwell in my cosmetic and genetic makeup. They are somewhere in my soul. And as such, ancestry is very much alive to me and my ancestors are always deep within me and around me. I feel them and I hope someday you feel yours too.
