Subject: RE: BS: Who Are You?
My maternal ancestors came from Hanover, and by actual genealogical reckoning, if I bumped off only 12,355,943 (plus or minus a 2% error rate) people, I'd be Queen of England!!!
Almost anyone of European extraction can claim some descent from "royalty", and considering how ofter the "royal" houses changed, it should have given everyone pause about the God and the "Divine Right."
And considering how armies raped and pillaged throughout all the world's countries, we're all related to each other.
Me, I'm an American of Germanic ancestry, as far as I know.
