Wow! My ancestors’ castles and whatnot are either in ruins, or don’t appear to exist at all, or have been so extensively renovated that the ancestors wouldn’t recognize ‘em. And of course, change a monarch and an ancestor falls out of favor, and one rather humble consequence is, conditions are created wherein I get born. So, no complaints. 😊
I suspect some of my ancestors occupied some of the finest dungeons ...
The majority of my DNA comes from England, Wales and Northwest Europe, including parts of France, Spain and Holland. That’s where my father was born. I didn’t know anything about my family history, or about the possible connection to Marshall and the Plantagenets until many years after my two trips there. Wish there was a way to confirm it all.
