Are You Related To a Royal?

There are millions of people out there descended from or related to royal families, past kings and queens etc. Always a chance you could be one of them, so, perhaps you may be interested in doing the genealogy thing if it can go far back. My family name has a coat of arms and I have a color copy, but no great shakes.

Of course, having blue blood will not change your life apart from encouraging people to bow down to you. Lol

    I've met lots of people that want to know about their genealogy. My grandparents (on my Mom's side) used to tell us that we were descended from both Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.

    My guess is that they believed this, but alas...I'm not descended from either of them. A cousin spent lots of time putting together our family history, and she told me.

    I was never curious to find out about anyone beyond my Grandparents. I don't even really know my nationality.

      You could be a direct descendent of The Earl Of Sandwich. There's a lot of habits you have to support this. I think you could be "In Bread".

      On my mothers side, not too promising, points to gypsies, difficult to trace. My father's is more promising. But, never done it. DNA tests could show our origins and possibly the Nationality of our ancestors. They are more accurate these days. Might be fun to have it done.

    I don't know about Royals, but I'm certainly related to some royal dumbasses.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

    Actually, everything I can state is I don't know exactly. There is a chance that I and my family are somehow related to royal, nevertheless I must spend lots of time to figure this out. In my opinion, it's a very interesting thing and it requires lots of time to know about it. It's good when you grandparents tell you that you're related to royal. Anyway, it won't bring you any benefits. It's just an information I think. Of course, it's pretty pleasant to figure this out, but there is no any kind of practical application of this knowledge.
