Origins of this page

While exploring my FitzRandolph ancestry I discovered that the Maules of Panmure and the FitzRandolphs share hundreds of ancestors. Not surprising, but nonetheless another genealogical by-way begging to be traversed.

Rather than using the presentation methods chosen for my own ancestry, I experimented with designing powerpoint slides saved as jpg files that I converted to image maps. Because I haven't convinced myself this is the best approach, I limited the initial effort to 14 pages.

Ancestry of Thomas Maule of Panmure, c 1370 -1411

Why this Thomas Maule? Because shortly before the Battle of Harlaw, in which he was killed, Thomas Maule was warned by John Ogilvie not to fight, as he "was the last man alive of his name." His son Thomas was born posthumously. Even if Ogilvie was referring only to Maules of Scotland, it nonetheless makes this Thomas Maule a person through whom most, if not all, Maules with roots in Great Britain can trace descent.
