What’s more British than the British royal family? More Spanish than the Spanish Monarchs? More Norse than the King of Norway? Well, a lot of things actually. In fact, nearly all of the 10 remaining hereditary monarchs of Europe have more German DNA than they do local. For centuries, royals almost exclusively married other, foreign royals. They rarely mixed their blue blood with people native to the Kingdoms they ruled over. What’s more, when dynasties died out (often from excessive inbreeding) foreign royal houses put their own seconds sons on the throne, establishing new, entirely alien dynasties. Modern royal families try to brand themselves as throughly native and in touch with the common people. And if they ever spit into a test tube and sent it off for a DNA test, they would probably never publish the results. But, by looking back at their family trees, we can get a pretty good idea of their heritage. So let’s find out just when and how the Swedish got so French, the Dutch got Argentinian, and everyone got so German!

Thank you!!!
When Prince George becomes the king of the UK, he would technically be the first British monarch to have more than 50% British ancestry in more than 300 years!
If I am not totally wrong I thought the last true English with Anglo Saxon blood was Harold ii dying in 1066 when William the conqueror took the throne.
That's right! Both Charles and William married British women, so William's kids have a lot more English blood than previous royal heirs.
I think George's father, Prince William, would be king before him. Wouldn't he be more than 50% British with his mother Diana being mainly British and also Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother being Scottish?
@@doreensika837British, not English. Henry VII and VIII was mostly Welsh and the Stuart monarchs were mostly Scottish
It’s actually gonna be William. His mother was a British aristocrat and Charles has a good deal Scottish ancestry because of his maternal grandmother
The most likely explanation to why they are so German is that there were a lot of German Monarchies so there were so much German in the royal marriage market
lots of royal german protestants* 😁
@@julijepp And just about the same number of royal german Roman Catholics.
Lindsay explained in another video that it had much more to do with the fact that one must either go to war with or defend the nation of one’s spouse. The Germanic principalities didn’t go to war with the big nations so there would be no requirement to defend their spouse’s nation.
I love my heritage! I went back 7 generations, and discovered that although we are german genetically, we have lived on the same farm in the Crimea since the 1600's, and saw pictures of family going back to the 1800's.
These estimates can be quite confusing as they are based on the borders of present day nation states and the concept that one nation is be made up by one people. My family has lived in the same region in what now is northern Sweden. I can trace many of my ancestors back to the early 1600's and some as far back as the early 1500's, well before the region was annexed by Sweden. Centuries of war and politics has moved borders back and forth and has divided a once reasonably homogenous, albeit multi-cultural, population into different nationalities. In reality they where a mix of Norwegian farmers from the Trøndelag, different Finnish tribes from the east and Samí people from the inner parts, but very few actual Swedes. However, my "heritage" is now 20% Norwegian, 28 % Finnish and 52 % Swedish (quite typical for the region). Which of course pure nonsense seen from a historical perspective. The Swedish part is a modern claim, Finland didn't exist as nation before 1917 and Samí heritage is never counted. So one has to take it with a grain of salt.
Out of the blue, my mother got a call, asking for my paternal grandmother Charlotte Schaaf Gorycki. Turns out the caller was the grand daughter of Charlotte's father Daniel Jr. I have met uncle Otto as a teen in the 1970s. He passed many years ago, as well as Daniel Jr. and Charlotte. Long story short, we were able to trace the Schaaf family back to 1620 Geiselberg, which was formerly part of Bavaria, currently part of the region of Rhineland-Palatinate. I have a picture a of distance cousins of the Schaaf family that still live in that town.
If you really want to place responsability to why the royal families of Europe have so much German, one of the tipping point comes from the British Act of Succession of 1704 requiring the British Monarch to be and still today, a protestant. German Royal Families excluding Baden and Bavaria were. And where a Protestant descendant of the Stuart line was in Hannover and there so many Protestant Royal Houses in Germany gave the Protestant houses of the rest of Europe a good place to look for royal bloodlines. I love that royal families with exceptions like the Act of Succession will allow royal families to marry who they love.
Sorry, my guy, the ruling family of Baden was Protestant, while the ruling family of Saxony was Catholic.
I’m not a Protestant or royal, but I did have ancestors who worked for the Hohenzollerns
@@Edmonton-of2ec Baden-Durlach was, but the larger Baden-Baden was prediomently catholic. It wasn't until the latter house died out and the Protestant Durlach inherited the territories
@@bananaleaf5899 Yeah, and the Baden-Baden line went extinct in *1771* which was before most if not all of the current reigning Protestant dynasties in Europe gained theirs thrones.
There is also a bit of Dutch mixed I'm from William of Orange 🍊
2:25- Why do I find it endearing and sweet that he was so devastated at Charlotte’s death that he never wanted to remarry and only did it when he became king of Belgium
It’s a great day when Lindsay uploads!!! 🎉🎉❤ Your hard work and dedication is so appreciated. You’re my go-to comfort channel ❤ Your consistency in style (and outro!! my favorite!) makes my neurospicy brain go *brrrrr* 🥰🥰🥰 you’re the best, Ms Tea Time! Thank you!
Raineer once mentioned that there was some Mexican heritage on their family. This is because Pierre du Polignac is a descendant of Mexican aristocracy Torre y Mier, his mother who moved to France was Susana de la Torre y Mier
There's a reason the British aristocracy refers to the House of Windsor as "a bunch of pasty-faced Germans who have to be protected from themselves," according to the author Kitty Kelley.
Fun fact: I'm related to Robert the Bruce by marriage; my Dad is a direct descendant of the brother of the Bruce's wife.
I wouldn't call Kitty Keelly an author
@@jenniferbrewer5370 mathematically, all living British people would be descended from him. It’s cool that you can actually trace that though: that is quite rare.
@saracolon2677Where do you see anything about Nazis...
@saracolon2677"thats so mean" you're the one connecting an unrelated statement. no one said anything about nazis??
It's a very interresting video. Just one little mistake. Leopold the 2nd of Belgium did have a son Leopold (1859-1869) but he died at 9 years old from a cold after falling in a lake. Leopold had 3 daughters Louise, Stéphanie and Clémentine (who was born after young prince Leopold's death in a atempt for the King to produce a son).
When you were talking about Sophie , Herzogin translates to duchess in German
HOW CAN ANY BODY
FORGET PRINCE PHILIP
WAS PRINCE OF DENMARK+
GREECE
I have Greek blood in me born in America have all their blood in me
Mathilde is 50% polish, both of her grandparents were Poles
The photo in the Monaco section about wanting to marry one of Queen Victoria’s daughters shows a photo of Queen Victoria with some of her granddaughters not daughters (specifically the Hesse princesses through Alice). Also, in that same section when talking about Princess Stephanie survive the crash after Grace Kelly’s stroke the video clip is of princess Caroline (as Stephanie was unable to attend her mother’s funeral due to her injuries).
I chuckled when I told my husband that he had more Norwegian DNA than the King of Norway. Heck, I have more and I'm about 85% British.
0:29 Lindsay: "What's more Norse than the Norwegian royal family?"
The Crown Prince of Norway: enthusiastic dancing on the balcony
There's kinda a glaring issue with this video. Some of the genetics are really nationalities. Unless you're and aboriginal then you're not genetically Australian. The Dutch royal family are mostly Scottish.
What’s Scottish about the Dutch Royal family? There haven’t been British Royals in the Dutch Royal family for over 200 years.
@@MLWitteman the supposedly Australian woman is white Scottish not real Aboriginie.
@@angiekelley2416that’s why she writes in brackets (Scottish), because they are Scottish
Scottish itself isn't even a genetic identity - most Scots have Norse and Gaelic DNA.
The very name Scotland comes from the Scotti tribe from Ireland.
These heritage things are scams because how far back do you go?
It's believed the majority of Europe's DNA completely changed around the time of the Beaker people anyway
@@ethangrant8736 okay fine but I think we can agree that Australian should be listed.
My mother died before she could tell me who my father was. One of the things i remembered was that he was some sort of secret elite. I got a Y-DNA test with Familytreedna and got the shock of my life. I discovered that I have an extremely rare! Y Haplogroup that originated from the first Canaanites and later became Phoenician and is located in the Iberian Y-DNA Tree in Southern France where they settled to escape the Jews and Romans. I am the 13th Merovingian bloodline of the Holy Grail of the 13th of the elite 13 families. I am a direct Y of the High Stewards and also have family in Quebec, Canada. My Father is mostly Scottish/Scandinavian and possibly French Canadian Scandinavian. He also has a little bit of Royal Greek and Royal Egyptian. I am the male Y linkage of the Royal Stewart's. The female X linkage are the Royal Sinclair's. My mother was the First Non-Petegree. I have a ton of research and information on my Y-DNA and even a family tree. But it branches at the bottom and I can't find out which branch my father is on. But what I do know is that my father and my long lost brother's and sister's are all well off and might even still be involved with the Royals. I however have to save up and try other DNA test to find closer relatives. My whole life has been nothing but a secret. Hopefully I can get some answers in the future.
Gonna be making a list of incorrect information here:
- Not to be too nit picky but Leopold I was actually the *third* son. He had two older brothers, Ernest III, later Ernest I, the last Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and the first Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Prince Ferdinand, who married a horrifying wealthy Hungarian heiress and whose descendants married into the Portuguese royal family and came to rule Bulgaria
- Leopold II did actually have have a legitimate son, he just unfortunately died of pneumonia at the age of 9 after falling into a pond.
"they're hiding the fact that they're not native" alongside a picture of Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is kind of hilarious.
I have read that there even seems to be a semi-official rule that the high-ranking members of the Danish royal family ARE NOT ALLOWED to marry Danes if they want to keep their place in the line of succession.
I would just like to say I love ur videos. I am an studio art college student/potter and I binge ur videos in the studio for hours at a time they make my art so much more fun!
Being from “Argentinian descent” is just being European with extra steps
Depends on, because a lot of argentinian also have native Americans ancestry
@@hp4415yes a lot of Indigenous-Mexican blood-lines
@@colinchampollion4420uh?
@@hp4415 Argentina's visible population is heavily white European who seem to never marry into the indigenous or black communities. Maxima Zorreguieta is just straight-up Italian and, being blond and fair-skinned, actually looks like she's Dutch/north European.
@@graphiteandglitter I said a lot, not all. Look can be deceptive as on average, black Americans has 20% white dna ( when they do dna test) .
Thanks as always for yet another amazing video lindsay! Can you please considee doing a video on the house of Trastamara? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a Formula 1 fan, and I have a special affection for Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. He happens to be a native Monegasque. I have heard Prince Albert speak on several occasions. He sounds like somebody standing in line behind me a Gino’s ordering a sub. He doesn’t sound like a fancy aristocratic European. And he sounds nothing like Charles Leclerc, who as a native Monegasque speaks with a heavy French accent. Asking him to describe an incident that happened in a race, he it was nothing, just an ‘inchident’ 😂.
It is so fun to look for our line….always thought my self as German…I did the DNA test, I am most Swedish, Irish but very little German…found out I was named the female version….Phyllis Harriet….named for my father’s grandfather who came from Germany…
I had a similar experience. My mum was raised believing her grandfather came over from Sweden as a child. I did the test: I did have Swedish dna, but on my dad’s side! I also found records of my mum’s grandfather being born and raised in Somerset and raised by a family he wasn’t blood related to, it uncovered quite the family mystery! We still have no idea who his birth parents were, he was given the most generic surname possible (like Smith, but not that one) so he was likely a foundling. He was from a tiny town in Somerset (ie not many sex workers who would be abandoning children) and the family didn’t have any daughters of childbearing age who could be his secret mother, so it’s really quite confounding!
Prince Rainiero of Monaco 's paternal grandmother was a Mexican lady, Susana de la Torre Mier y Terán
That means they have Mexican-Indigenous ~Azteca blood-lines 😂🎉
Learning this (if not as in depth as presented here) kinda blew my mind, as a teenager, back in the 90s. Of course, what with Germany not having a royal house anymore, the whole thing seems literally very foreign to me, anyway. That was around the time, the whole Princess Diana drama had played out and I couldn't for my life understand, why people cared so much about these people. Or would grant any kind of authority to non elected leaders, who literally weren't even really countrymen or women of theirs, if you go by heritage. It just seemed totally absurd.
Royalty only makes sense, if the King or Queen really is the ruler of the country or if you believe in some kind od 'God granted right' to the position, which would then pass on to the 'rightful heir' of a church blessed marriage.
It's all so odd!
It's white privilege at its finest.
its weird to see you describe people as 50% a nationality or ethnicity (the latter of which does make more sense) but i totally get why remmebering how 23 & me and other genetic test thing describe it lol. this was very interesting!
Yes, especially because you don’t necessarily inherit a perfect half of whatever your parent has!
It is a perfect half because the egg and sperm which combined and became you each carried 50% of your parent's genome. But one does not inherit exactly 25% of a grandparent's genes, but only a quarter on the average due to assortment of chromosomes and recombination in meiosis.
This was brilliant. I can't wait for part 2!
Impressive piece of work. Must have taken a long time to put this together. Thanks.
Off topic, but it would be interesting to know which parts of the British Isles people are genetically closest to their earliest known indigenous populations before conquest.
ETA: I just googled this, the answer is the people of Wales. We need a video!
Liechtenstein: each of the Czech or Austrian brides had more complicated ancestry. A Czech or Austrian countess could have Polish or Hungarian ancestry or both.
Hereditary Princess Sophie's father Max-Emmanuel Herzog in Bayern had a Croatian mother (Marita Draskovich) with Austrian and Hungarian ancestry. Elisabeth Douglas, Sophie's mother, has very little Scottish ancestry. Her patrilineal Douglas ancestors married Germans (an illegitimate daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden), Norwegians, Swedish, and Germans (Ottora Haas-Heye, Sophie's grandmother).
As others have commented, this is a very good analysis but it's not 100% scientific. In theory you could get the DNA of every single blood ancestor for many generations to calculate the exact percentages, though you'd eventually get back to people from places that changed into different countries, so it would all be very complicated. You have made a good compromise at going back enough generations to see generally where people stand.
so excited for this and part 2!!
It grips my you know wht to see camilla up there wearing the crown like she earned tht right.
I think you want to say that she "earned" it, rather than being born into it.
Well, she is the one riding the royal dong and holding all the official paperwork. That's usually the way it works.
I mean, she’s a consort. Most consorts don’t earn the right to wear a crown, they get it because they married the right person lol
@@piratesswoop725 Hell, royals don't even earn their crowns these days. They just fell out of the right womb.
Dammmn I'm pleasantly suprised to see many of these have Portuguese DNA (albeit not much and through a sh*t king).
Also Henri Grand Duke of Luxemburg looks like a con artist
Where’s the haplogroups…Richard lll was Ydna G AND J1c…Phoenician caananite
27:22 I can't remember any scandal at all with the coming Queen Mette-Marit, both she and the crown-Prince are very well liked, and like the current King, never any scandals or embarressments, unlike the princess that married some bald, African witchdoctor and that's after her own "angel school", where here pupils were thought to contact their guardian spirits... Mette-M. had been to some Norwegian reality TV-show and been a "party girl", but she's 100% Norwegian and I think the vast majority of Norwegians are grateful for both being the only monarchy established by election and also for getting more distance to the more Danish side of the royal dynasty.
Excellent video! Can't wait for part 2 :)
1:55 “Imported” 😭😭😭😭😭
Gotta ask, why were the Norwegian royals bopping around right at the start? Hardly stereotypical royal behaviour but it certainly made me smile :)
Question: if someone from the royal family has medals from the Second World War? And if they died would someone need to wear the medals for next Poppy Day or would the dead be buried with their medals?
I think all medals stay with the person who won them, and they shouldn't be worn by anybody else.
@@CallieMasters5000 I mean that makes sense.
Because I go to Gravesend sea cadets and during Poppy Day P.O. Chapman was wearing medals from WWI or WWII
In almost every case the medals are removed before the burial
It signifies that the departed shall enter heaven as a simple man they are given to the familes to keep but royals generally donate them to museums
@@drewdurnilappreciationday1680 well I know that there hat is placed on their coffin with the Union Jack flag or a British Royal Navy flag depending on their rank because each regiments have their own ranks.
They usually aren’t buried with the dead. Most get inherited.
Pierre de Polignac, Rainier’s father was 50% french and 50% Mexican.
Mathilde of Belgium has 50% Polish ancestry. Her mother was born in Poland and is 100% Polish, considering the last generations.
Was surprised how she was downgraded to she had some polish descendants. Mathilde's father was only baron and if not his daughter marriage he wouldn't be a count.
I find it pretty funny that I, as a Faroese person, have more Danish DNA than the Danish royal family, as confirmed by DNA tests, while only have direct Danish ancestors from the 17th century.
Duke Henri looks like queen elizabeths dad and uncle
Can you do a video on royal bastards who became monarchs or high ranking consorts?
Ooh, yes please.😮😊
@@ChibiProwl Now that would Be Fascinating!!!
William the Conqueror is the outstanding example.
Or video of royal bastatds and their current descendants
The house of Glücksburg that is the Danish Royal family was from Schleswig-Holstein, which was part of Denmark until 1864, which would make the Christian 9 Danish.
I've started looking into my family history. Found out I'm related to a bunch of people where I live. I just happened to move to the same area so it's really cool.
That’s so thoughtful of you Crystal, Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how’s the weather there ?
I'd like to know about the Hawai'i royal line. Please and Thank you.
Ingeborg like other Nordic namrs foes *not* have a silent "e".
The "e" in "Inge" is a separate very much voiced syllable, ay least in some dialects here in Norway.
And I'm pretty sure that it is in Sweden too...
Suffixes aee important in nordic words.
A "e" ending in Norwegian often means the same as "the" does in English.
Thank You! This explains more than any thing else.
Queen Mathilde was a daughter of a baron elevated to count by former king on the occasion of her marriage with now king of Belgians. Her mother was a daughter of a polish count Komorowski (Same family like former polish president B.Komorowski) and granddaughter of member of Sapieha family (one of the greatest polish families). So saying about her mother "with some polish ancestors" is kinda downgrading her.
Thanks for showing this!
3:30 What's she got going on there? Did she just pin a necklace straight across her bouffant roll up front? Lawd 😂
I think she wore her tiara upside down?
@@annacbrown1986 yeah maybe they took it off its base.
wow! the amount of work (as always for your content!) put into this video is astounding. ❤
Minor mistake: Johann I Joseph married JOSEPHA of Fürstenberg-Weitra, not JOSPHEINA
Fabulous!
Isn't that Russian blood actually German? Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov
Exactly,not russian at all just lived and ruled,there.
Excellent video, I loved it!!! I would just like to make a correction what I find interesting to point out. Princess Charlotte of Monaco, grandmother of the current prince, married Pierre de Polignac who was not 100% French, his mother was Susana de la Torre y Mier who was 100% Mexican, so Pierre it would be 50% French and 50% Mexican, just as the following princes of Monaco would also have a percentage of Mexicans!!!
And I'm connected to every Royal House back to Charlemagne. And beyond. Through my Maternal line, I'm distant cousin to Queen Elizabeth II through her Mother. We have a common Ancester Augustine Warner I, who moved to America. His estate is in Glousetershire Virginia.
I mean it makes sense. Hapburgs were Queen V before she needed to it with it.
It's kinda hard to be counted as Belgian when your bloodline predates Belgium as a concept. Where does the Belgian originate? When does it magically come into being? The same way the vast majority of "German" nobility on here is way, way older than "Germany" even by the loosest definition. That way, assigning continental European nationalities to most of these people's DNA is a little bit silly.
Yep...Very Questionable
@@gabriellejudd1 Yes,And Which Branch Of The Belgians? The Flemmings,Called Flemish Live In Northern Belgium And Speak Dutch,Like The Dutch Of The Netherlands. The People Of Southern Belgium Are Called Walloons,And Are Celtic Heritage And Speak French. The Belgian Aristocracy Is Most Likely Flemish.
Miss Lindsay, your family is in Ironton? I have family there as well. Small world
Prince Henrik born out of wedlock??? Most certainly not
He was born in 1934. His mother didn’t divorce her husband, who wasn’t Henrik’s father, until 1940, and his parents married in 1948, you do the math.
Thx U Lyndsey
The Luxembourg royals also have some Dutch ancestry from Grand Duke Adolphe and I know Sweden isn’t covered in this video, but they have some from Sophia of Nassau (paternal half-sister of Adolphe) too as direct descendants of William IV, Prince of Orange through his daughter; Princess Carolina of Orange-Nassau.
So GD Adolphe and Queen Sophia were definitely not entirely German.
Funny because the Dutch royalties are also mostly German
A lot of these countries are Germanic in origin. And I’m not sure the Russians you named weren’t also German.
A question is the Swedish DNA because they should be French because the Swedish royal family are French, so somethings wrong with the chart.
Princess Mary would be of Scottish ancestry, No?
Why would they never publish the results?
Is Mary Hamilton related to Alexander Hamilton?
All this reminds me of why dogs are called mutts.
Don't forget Queen Charlotte - Her bloodline, the Black Moors, who ruled Spain for 800 years 😊😊 All of the Royals families had Queen Charlotte Bloodline's running thur their vein....
Where’s part 2?
On its way.
Really want to watch but can't when you can't get a presenter to pronounce the places where these royals live
I enjoyed this but the math isn't mathing. 🤣
The Romanovs aren't ethnic Russian, they're German.
Prince Henrik of Denmark was DEFINITELY not born out of wedlock!!!
His mother was married to another man when he was born, and his parents didn’t marry until 1948. He was born in 1934. Do the math.
Wow... You need a scorecard to keep up😂
Interesting!
I Wonder How "Swedish" The Swedish Royal Family Is? Because The House Of Bernadotte Came From France,From French Nobility. King Karl XIV Johan And His Wife Queen Desiree Were 100% French And So Was Their Son,Oscar I. Some Swedish Blood Was Brought Back To The Family When Oscar Married A Bavarian Princess With Vasa Blood,The Old Swedish Dynasty. King Karl XVI Gustav's Wife Queen Sylvia Is "Brazilian" Actually German Via Brazil,She Was Born Into A German-Brazilian Family. Crown Princess Victoria's Husband Daniel Westerling Is Swedish,Making The Future Heir Princess Estelle More Swedish Than Her Grandfather And Mother,Or Just As Much,At Least 50%.
I'll give you a hint: They're all really German and related through Queen Victoria and her cousin husband

Not going to happen folks. Sorry?

You've stated that Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, soon to be Queen in a few days, is 100% Australian. She was born in Hobart, Tasmania and has only been Australian. Why then would you state that Crown Prince Christian is 50% Australian/Scottish? His mother is 100% Australian and has never lived in Scotland. If you started going back through the heritage of each parent, grandparent etc. on both sides it would be ridiculously confusing. You never stated anything about Mary being Scottish, as it's her father who has a Scottish heritage. If you're going to follow the generations back to the person of royal blood, then you'll have to do this for whom they marry too. Therefore, your percentages will be incorrect.
Australia is proud of Mary but she is of very recent Scottish heritage /descent. Going by her father’s name, she could well be of Viking descent in fact.
@@mauvegreenwisteria3645 I realise that her parents were/are Scottish, yet that wasn't my point. It was listed that Mary was 100% Australian, yet Christian was 50% Australian/Scottish, when there was no mention of Scottish under Mary's name, which is understandable when she was born and raised here. If they want to go back through anyone's ancestry correctly, they need to dot the 'i's' and cross the 't's'. If they are only to go by where Mary was born, as they did here, then there shouldn't have been any mention of Scottish under Christian as it makes it too confusing for those who aren't aware of Mary's Scottish parents. I know that I would be upset if my heritage, which includes Scottish, was eliminated. I can see that they are trying to make this as simple as can be, but mentioning Scottish under Christian just makes it more confusing. If Mary is going to be classed as 100% Australian, then Christian should be 50% Australian and that's all. After seeing this, I wonder how correct the lineage of the others are.💖
@@krisushi1 Hi Krisushi, I don’t disagree with you at all. The author of the podcast would probably also accept your reasoning. Really, for the purposes of this podcast’s topic, Australian (Mary), American (Grace) etc are irrelevant and should only be mentioned as asides or as places where they grew up. Overall, I think this podcast has done a good job in a sensible way.
@@mauvegreenwisteria3645 Yes. At least it's better than my father's attempt at our genealogy. He went back a few generations to England and then followed them on their journey to Australia! He obviously forgot that the point of creating a family tree was to see how far you can go back to discover your heritage. When I was presented with a copy of what he had done, I was quite confused as to what happened with my ancestors as far back as possible. Instead, I got a story of the different ways in which they came to Australia and their lives here, including myself! He must have become directionally challenged or thought it of more interest to him to only look into those who were brought here against their will or as settlers. Genealogy isn't always the easiest to attempt. I've heard of some who have had their DNA checked with the same company several times and received different results each time. I don't think we can ever know for certain how correct our lineage actually is. It's only going to get harder in future with spouses being referred to as partners and all sorts of changes. At least people are more open now. I couldn't tell you anything about the lives of my own grandparents and still can't as their stories have been taken to the hereafter with them. Everything from my family seemed to be top secret! My mother was proud of her Scottish and Irish heritage, yet she never spoke about her own father who lost his life when she was about eleven. I never even found out about how he died until I was 21yrs of age! What I had been told growing up was just lies. I don't know my family's life stories at all. They're from that generation that keeps everything to themselves. It's such a shame as I love nothing better than listening to someone's life story.💖
Sorry but it doesn't ad up..
