some of the stuff amateur genealogy sleuths come up is hilarious. Seems like almost everyone is linked to royalty. lol
All I'm doing is following the branches that are already constructed. I put none of it together except to link my own mother to her parents, and that's not part of dear old dad's lineage anyway. Look at your own family tree and go back 40 generations. That amounts to over 1 billion ancestors. Odds are good there's someone very notable there---IF you take the right paths to find them.
He has his ancestors on ignore.
That's the key, following the right lines.
Some of my lines go back to peasant farmers, others go back to European nobility, and once you're related to one European Noble, you're related to all of them.
