Congratulations. But maybe you haven't seen this qoute from genealogist
and
author, Gary Boyd Roberts: "probably sixty percent or more of the American
people are descended from kings. This descent is usually derived through
roughly three hundred-fifty (350) royally descended immigrants of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Royal descent occurs, of course,
because younger children of kings become or marry nobles; the younger
children of nobles become or marry landed gentry; the younger children of
landed gentry become bureaucrats or professionals; and the younger
children
of professional elites have become middle-class citizens of the
Anglo-American and British-derived world."

I, too, can claim a descent from Charlemagne - as probably many others on
this list may as well - and thusly am also related to the current British
monarch. But didn't you recently read that Madonna and Celine Dion have
one
of the same ancestors as the late Princess of Wales and are therefore
related to the future King?

What I find more intertesting in my lineage is that I also descend from
documented serfs. Not so easy to demonstrate. I, too, am an American -
and
my real name is Patti Metsch.

I am related to Royalty. Interestingly enough, the current Queen of
England
and I have a common ancestor who was the grandfather of President George
Washington.
Yes, believe it or not, Queen Elizabeth has as one of her ancestors the
grandfather of George Washington thorugh the Warner line.
The Queen, Queen Elizabeth, is a very fine,patriotic, and honorable lady
whom I admire a great deal.
I am an American citizen and reside in the USA.
I belong to the Sons of the American Revolution;the National Society
Sons
and Daughters of the Pilgrims, the Sovereign Colonial Society Americans
of
Royal Descent, the Somerset Chapter Magna Charta Barons, the Plantagenet
Society, the Colonial Order of the Crown (descendants of the Emperor
Charlemagne), and The Society of Descendants of Knights of the Most
Noble
Order of the Garter.

My real name is not Marcus Aurelius
