I think sometime in the past, we've had threads on here about who we're related to who may be (in)famous. When I was in high school (back in the 80's, pre internet), my mother dragged me with her to all the genealogical libraries in the SF/Bay Area she could find. I was bored out of my mind back then, but with her mind going in her advancing age (will be 79 next month), I've become more curious and last time i visited, I asked my dad if I could have the index and main records book she kept back then. He, being the dad, told me to ask my mother. She didn't even remember DOING genealogy.
So, just a few moments ago, I got curious. I pulled them off my bookshelf and started perusing the index for familiar names. I wanted to see where she had some Danish royals listed... well, I haven't found him... but i did find someone else... and holy cr**.
Edward I, of England. I.E. aka Longshanks. beh... beh... Holy Catsmas, Batman! She never TOLD me about the British royals in my line... she was more amused in telling me I was descended from the b**tard child of a Danish prince.
So, I have the ability to continue her research, filling in LOTS of blanks... this could get very interesting... now I really need some software to get it all on the computer.
DUDE! Man, this is going to trip me up for a while...
Yeah, Royalty to moonshiners... I have an amusing family history.
