Anonymous Coward User ID: 11330901 United States 11/12/2012 02:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You people all assume great-great grandma didn't have an affair...meaning great-great grandpa's side may not count. Or that great-great grandpa remarried and you found his SECOND wife's lineage when in fact you're related to his first. Or if someone was adopted but raised by his parents as his own. In other words, you have no way to tell if those family trees are accurate. |

closing eyes (OP) User ID: 24721119 United States 11/12/2012 02:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mother does the genealogy thing, have a pretty thick book of whom begat whom, and it isn't even the bible. My personal favorite is: Quoting: Harry_Canyon [link to en.wikipedia.org] Loved his char in Braveheart, so I delved deeply into his history myself. I felt some sort of connection with the character, and sometimes felt the movie was about him as opposed to William Wallace... Years before discovering I had a shared lineage. Thats a good one!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11330901 and this says it all. if society would do consistent paternity tests, it would probably show that roughly half of all newborns are bastards. this theory has been tested once, with a fairly large sample size, and was proven correct (i'm too lazy to look it up, google it). but hey, don't let me stop you people from feeling oh so special. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6732797 United States 11/12/2012 11:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If your ancestors were from the Brithish Isles then chances are that you are decended from William the Conquerer as well. Almost every person of French or Anglo-Saxon descent eventually ties into the William the Conquerer and Charlamagne lines. It's just the way it works. There were only a finite number of people alive in 1066. Chances are you're a descendent of most of the people where we alive at that time who share your ethnicity. 1066 was about 30 generations ago. If you do the math, 2^30 is about a billion--meaning you have one billion Great^30 Grandparents. But there weren't a billion people on earth in 1066. |
