My wife is a big time genealogy buff and she can trace her roots to Anne Boleyn.

I guess we’re almost kin.

My father’s mother, Sarah Parr, was born in England, and was a direct descendent of Sir Thomas Parr, Catherine, or Katherine, Parr’s father. Which means that I am descended from King Edward III though Thomas Parr.

Neat.

She's supposed to be my 1st cousin 14x removed through her mother Elizabeth Howard. Thomas Fiennes, 9th Baron Dacre, is allegedly my 11th Great-Grandfather. He was hung at Tyburn for the killing of a gameskeeper on the land of an MP, where he and his friends had gone to poach. He sat on the jury that convicted Anne Boleyn.
