I'm am so sorry I never responded to your reply, I somehow missed it. My father
Charles Abner Cecil was born in High Point, NC. His father was Richard Reitzel Cecil who
was married to Mary Josephine Bolton, his father was Abner Cicero Cecil whose father was
Alson Gray Cecil. Yes, we are a direct line to royalty such as: Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Ruler
of Wales and many more. You should check out
tribalpages.com I have a page but I have
not put it in correct order but Mark Rosenblum has a wonderful page and he actually wrote
the books for the ancestral home (Burghley House) in England. He also told me if titles
were still given out I would be able to claim mine but they abolished the titles several
years ago because of people selling them for money who were not direct descendents. Its
all very fascinating. Too bad my side of the Cecil's who came over on the Second
Jamestown Charter were not as smart with their money as their cousins in England (lol).
Good luck with your se!
arch. Also,
familysearch.org is a wealth of information on the Cecil descendants (its
free). Sandy
