You may call me Lady Jujube now......

[jujube]

I just got a call from my sister, who has gotten very active in the genealogy of our mother's side of the family (my dad's side, while for the most part honest folks, were "just" folk as I have learned in my days in the field).

Well, she has determined that our 24th-great-grandfather was King Edward I of England, also known as Edward Longshanks, of the Plantagenet House.

Well, whoop-de-doo......pardon me while I go polish my tiara. It's a little tarnished these days, y'know.

Maybe I'll round up the hundreds of thousands of my "cousins" and see if we can storm Buckingham Palace....hmmmmm.

'Tis a long list by now, Lady JJ.

Ancestry is fun to learn.

Here's my ancestors.

Gruffydd ap Llywelyn  1010 – 5 August 1063) was the King of Wales and had repeatedly defeated the English forces. He was the son of King Llywelyn ap Seisyll and Angharad, daughter of Maredudd ab Owain. He was the great-great-grandson of Hywel Dda.

 

[Sachet]

Apparently, one of my ancestors was Robert the Rook. ????

 

[RadishRose]

So you're French @jujube

 

[Sachet]

So you're French.

Moi ? I'm a Hoosier.

 

[RadishRose]

I am descended from Chopin who was born Fryderyk Franciszek Szopen on March 1, 1810, in the small village of Zelazowa Wola, Duchy of Warsaw.

You're a poet

But your feet show it,
They're Longfellows....

Need help getting up?

We are not amused.

OK, OK, we're amused.

I think if you go far enough back everyone is related to some famous historical figures. I am related to the Tudors and others. When you think about it, we could all be related to each other even though we live in different countries. It has sparked my interest in reading about those historical times.

[Pepper]

Related to Sol, Davy, and Abe.

Jujube congratulations, you are now one of a large proportion of Europe, and even the Americas who can count Edward 1 as an ancestor!
He is also known as “the Hammer of the Scots.” He hated the Scots and was very cruel to them.
Another thing: En garde, your ancestor and my ancestor ( Simon de Montfort) were mortal enemies
.

He would be so proud of you!

Not me! My ancestors were all farmers and horse tenders; people scratchin the Earth to stay alive. But, I'm proud of them!

 

[jujube]

Yeah, apparently, but it's a bit overwhelmed by the Swedish, Scots and German genes.

 

[MickaC]

I’ll take my place beside Gear......and scratch the earth like my forefathers.
But
I do live with Royalty.
Her Royal Highness “ Micki “ she’s a Corgi......which explains it all.
