Routly Heritage Unearthed!
Scientists recently unearthed new findings in the Devonshire area of Jolly Ol’ England that have verified earlier reports that the origins of the Routly Family can be found in the people of The Shire. Shire folk, also known as Hobbits, are recorded in the writings of historian and author J.R.R. Tolkien.
The following is a record of the direct line from our earliest recorded ancestor to the most recent spawn of the Routly clan. Look for expansions to come.
