I don’t know if there is a genealogy thread here or not. I would love to join one if there is!
I have gone back to the 1600’s for America, but then gone back to England and Scotland. Apparently I am descended from Mary Queen of Scots aunt through her granddaughter who was a Lady came to America with her Lord. Then the Revolutionary war came and the family lost their titles. Moved down south and in the civil war, lost their money (confederate money was worthless).
So there ya go. Cotton pickers descended from royalty. Yay America! LOL!

Sounds like my family! I’d like to participate in a genealogy thread.

My husband’s family has a story of one of his Scottish ancestors who stood on a bridge and spat on Mary Queen of Scots as she passed under. He was hanged. The family remains proudly Protestant to this day. (My husband, however, converted to Catholicism some years before I met him. No grudge against Mary Queen of Scots on his part, I guess.)
