Babb Unabridged

The Somerset Dragons are one of the oldest and largest lineages of Babbs in England originating in the Pitminster & Trull area of Somerset County (Shire). The tree spans 5 Continents and 1358 people. Their lineage is proven through DNA testing of multiple descendants. The DNA tests have shown a connection between what was previously known as Somerset Pedigree 01 and Somerset Pedigree 02. This connection was already believed to exist, but the paper trail is small in such distant times. Somerset Pedigree 03 has also been added to this collection, as the parents of Francis Babb of Pitminster having been documented through traditional methods. The Crest used to represent this great house of Babbs is NOT historic, but a modern interpretation of what a crest for this family might look like. It draws upon the mascot of the County of Somerset, which is the Dragon and uses a similar color scheme to their current flag. Using mascots will help everyone to remember which lineage they are a part of. Only lines proven via DNA have a mascot and crest.
