I am supposedly descended from the evil Edward I, through the Byrds of Virginia.

I did absolutely zero research. It was in a very old “Saturday Evening Post” actually goes all the way back to Pepin of Landen around 600.

I just got my DNA results yesterday. 60% England, Wales, Normandy, and Britanny. 35% Scotland and Ireland and 5% Norse

Maps showed Iceland, Skye and the Hebrides. Also Places in France plus of course England and Wales.

We should probably getbtogether sometime and see if we have matches. Did you have any Bruces from the Carolinas or did yours come in up north?

“It has EVERYTHING to do with trying to dismantle traditional societies and replace them with far left lunacy.”

Not necessarily,it could be just local teen agers and thugs taking advantage of this ridiculous “movement”.

The Moors are a fascinating group. Mostly Celts with some Arab, and a little of everything else in the Mediterranean.

No connections to the Carolinas. All from Britain, and ended up with my mother who was born in Canada.

"Remember all those black people who were in Scotland back in the day?"

I remember they all died fighting at places like Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn against Edward I. I think many of them also fought against him when he was trying to destroy the Welsh. Haven't you seen the statues all across Scotland, Wales and England memorializing their brave acts?

My family trees shows me descended directly from him through his daughter Matilda to Robert the II, III, to John Stewart I

My Great Aunt was the genealogy nut of the family, she swore to her dying day we came down from Robert the Bruce the same way, and, given the books available at the time, she had reason to believe it, and her parents and grandparents through to the Carolinas believed it. She had all her DAR Is and Ts crossed ... they no doubt still have her work archived somewhere still, and she traveled all over the eastern US and to Scotland and all to look at decords there too...so she was trying to prove it. She was in good faith looking for what records could be found to at least get back into the 1600s, but did not have DNA to add to the paper, of course. Problem was, she also believed a handwritten 'diary' about another ancestor line in Virginia that while a fun read with some truth to it...turned out to be a mid 1800s hoax published in an old history magazine. In that case people are still citing it long after it was exposed.

My DNA says I’m 59% English, Welsh, and Northwestern Europe. My Dad was born in Holland, but his family line is very short...all peasants. I’m also 35% Germanic Empire, which nobody in my family knew about. It was a big surprise to me because I’m not a fan of Germany at all. I’ve also got 2% each of Scotland/Ireland, Sweden and Norway. A regular mongrel.

I’m sure they will find some ‘far right’ idiot to carry the can, with cctv coverage of course.

Although, according to lots of films nowadays, there were lots of black people around in Europe back then. Nearly always wise.

Yep. Even in "Frozen 2", which is supposed to represent 1820's rural Norway.

I don’t know. They take their own shrines pretty seriously. The Gentle Giant had makeshift shrine in the middle of the street where he died and there were almost riots again when someone actually ran over stuff in the street. The City of Ferguson actually installed a plaque to commemorate his passing.

Racist?

Maybe these ignorant fools think Edward, King was an ancestor of Rodney King?

He was white. BLM is itself thoroughly, irredeemably, irreparably racist.
