I might be vaguely related to someone who *murdered* a king. Does that count for anything?
Depends. What's the statute of limitations on regicide in that particular country?

Good news! You may, in fact, be related to Sam Vimes!

Did they call the police and report him? If he pulls that "I'M A PRINCE" scam once he'll most likely do it again. He should be arrested and banned - who knows, he might be mentally unfit.
I was thinking 'mental issues' as well ...

I'm descended from Robert the Bruce, but I still have to pay my bills.

I was told at one time I actually WAS Robert the Bruce in a past life. .... Does that count as well????

According to an MIT study, we are all connected by a single common ancestor who lived around 300BC. Not necessarily descended from, but related to. Which makes us all 50th cousins.

Can't wait for the family reunion.

I'll bring the chips.

My mother does all the lineage stuff and most of our ancestry on her side in the US goes back to New York in the 1800's. My biological father's line actually goes back to pre-colonial Virginia.

If we're all 50th cousins, then anytime any of us are online together here IS a family reunion.

One of my cousin's wives on my Dad's side traced back our grandmother's (Dad's mother) ancestors . . . trail went back 12 generations to Peregrine White.

Anyone want to crash the next Mayflower Ball with me?

But they wouldn't forget us, especially if I can come up with an interesting way to stir things up a bit.

No royalty, just a lot of people who either invented things or punched them very very hard. Both sides of the family have had SOMEONE in the military in each generation going as far back as anyone can find. Mind you... both generations seem intent on outbreeding Japan, so at this point I've got connections to pretty much everything.

Also, the Tray up story was EPIC.

I'll bring taco ring to the reunion
