Welcome to the Griffin Archive. This website details the lineage of an American family's genealogy from the present day back over a thousand years!

I have been able to document unbroken lineage back to approximately 1170 to Griffith of Gomundeley in England. I've also traced back to 1346 to Heindrick Schenck Van Nydeck, Lord of Afferton and Walbeck of the Netherlands and earlier to Edgar Schenck, born in 830 A.D.
