Restored RANSOM HISTORIES continues … TO PUT US ALL BACK ( we descended from one family ) from 77 AD Londinium (Roman London) … ` VINLANDIA` SCHOLARS have shown our line back into BC JUTLAND … OUR ROOTS - 2^nd century BC is fairly easy & the area could be ascertained Jutland back to 4^th-5^th centuries BC.

… Here I lack, so far, Jutland names & places that were known to us - Dr JOHN RAY Ransom did speak them 1960 on NIGHTWATCH but alas they did not sound familiar … this was the new evidence he had received from USA & CANADA Academics …& the VINLANDIA crowd … they have been exploring their ancestry from the 19^th century … they gave the RANSOM brothers information in the first half of the 20^th century …

… After the following pages of explanation of the DRAMA of DESTRUCTION of our RECORDS in the 20^th century I will write in this Document the names of RANSOM & details of our ancestors as I turn through the Directory I have made … MEMO : These are also familiar histories to me as I grew up from 1933-1945 … I have inserted many in length in `SUMMER 1937 Andre Malraux etc … ` … www.greta-ransom.com …

NB : The reader

can now turn through the 20^th century

RANSOM DRAMA &

DESTRUCTION history

to less savage times …

Happily in 92 AD Gaius Ransom retires to Suffolk coast -

… 100 AD a son or grandson 22 years old has a narrow escape - arrived late November from Mediterranean Trading - pulled in for winter months at what will one day be called PORTSMOUTH Harbour - he knew he would not survive long with such rough primitive company in the other ships pulled up for the winter months … He gathered 5 ill treated Orphans shivering under a den of branches they had tried to construct in the earth bank - He and two faithful men thus got a full crew in silence … and set out in the fierce winter Channel seas and arrived safely to DUNWICH Suffolk & the family home - The orphans grew up to become stout trustworthy companions & received SANCTUARY the homestead-heimat of RANSOM Suffolk coast : records in Latin/& early English …

Thus our RANSOM ancestry

proceeds down the centuries …

to all of us …
