WHERE DID THE WARREN FAMILY BEGIN?

The earliest known Paternal and Maternal
Paternal Side
The Warren family have all [except for Warreners, Warings and a few others] basically originated  [on the Paternal side] from a Danish knight [Rollo] who came to France and through power of arms, secured that part of France now known as Normandy [of the north men] where they settled at a place on the Garenne River. This occurred during the period 850- 950ad and by the year 1066, William de Warrenne had secured himself a seat on the right hand side of his third or fourth cousin, William Duke of Normandy. Shortly after the battle of Hastings, William de Warren married Gundrada, daughter of William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda. Rollo, was the gg grandfather of both William the Conqueror and Earl William de Warrene!
Maternal Side
The maternal side of this now ruling family takes us back in time even further than the paternal side as Gundrada was a princess and her mother now a Queen. 
Matilda dates back through Charlemaine and several other European and Italian Kings, back into Russia where her family were known as Jaroslava. This side of the family takes us back almost 2000 years but then comes the darkest age, a time when nobody knows who they were unless they were men of renown. Even though we know Matilda's family do go back to about 200ad, we cannot be absolutely sure of it. DNA tells us that the Warren family do date back about 28,000 years to Western Europe but of course we have no idea through whom. William De Warrene of Varenne [Garrene] in Normandy is the first to use the name Warren and from that point onward our family were part of the Norman nobility that conquered England. During the next thousand years, the Warren family appear to have clung solidly to religion with most family heads becoming Ministers, Vicars, Rectors and even Bishops, right throughout Britain. 
Our particular family Warren eventually settled in Ashburton, Devon and from there, migrated to Marnhull in Dorset. In the modern era, we have come through Southampton to New Zealand and on to South Australia where we have branched out to the Eastern states of this land.
