Just thought this was a cool article. And that Mohammad tidbit is neat (at least to me). I guess it's just common sense if one thinks about it, especially the way royal people 'get around'.. :)

This might fit your ping list!

Mohammed has screwed many people throughout time.

Do I stand to inherit anything? No? Then I don't care.

"And that Mohammad tidbit is neat"

It would be neat, if it wasn't too late for an honor killing.

[Truthsearcher]

This is just common sense, it doesn't have to even be royalty, any random person who managed to have children a thousand years ago probably can claim the majority of people as his descendants.

Some experts estimate that 80 percent of England's present population descends from Edward III.

It's good to be the king!

The only famous ancestor of mine was honored by being hung, drawn, quartered and his head adorned the London Gate. The General was a regicide.

I am proud not to have any royal blood. And I don't see how I have any relation to Mohammed that is as recent as the 620s. Those times were characterized by immobility, no matter how much the prophet "got around."

I'm related to Douglas MacArthur. Our family tree split about 15 generations ago and we ended up swinging from different branches.

Not to me...I'd rather descend from the devil himself than that pig fornicator.

[fish hawk]

I take it that if you are descended from a Pope, you are a bastard???

[TruthConquers]

I wonder if this article is a very weak attempt to encourage Europeans to think of themselves as "Muslims" instead of Europeans. The faulty family lines and the "suppose here and suppose there" kind of thinking, are also laughable.

Well she can't act, so I guess it's the only thing she can grasp at for ego-gratification. My royal, enlightened ancestors were better than your classless, barbaric ancestors. If it makes her feel good, I guess it's okay.

I have been researching my family's genealogy for about 15 years now. I have tried to be as accurate in my research as possible and use primary sources for my research rather than secondary resources. I have found that in my family are ancestors who are Irish, Scottish, English, French, German, Danish, Spanish, Portugese, and Jewish. In other words, I am an American.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

My cousin traced our family line back to Wales and connected us to the Welsh Royal family (middle ages). The rest is history, from that royal line it goes back to the third century AD and a Roman. On another line (my Irish ancestors), we are connected to the Spanish royal family.

[Cicero]

One of my grandmothers was a descendant of Pico della Mirandola, who in turn traced his genealogy back to Julius Caesar.

Another line goes back to Elder William Brewster.

That's OK, but if I'm descended from that rat Muhammed I'd prefer not to know about it.

[timsbella]

Mohamed? Poppycock. More lame new-age "we're all connected crapola". G-d split us up nicely at Babel for a reason.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus on his mother's side. I did not laugh; people who boast of ancestry often have little else to sustain them.
Humoring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in a world in which happiness is always in short supply.

""Millions of people have provable descents from medieval monarchs," said Mark Humphrys, a genealogy enthusiast and professor of computer science at Dublin City University in Ireland."

Yah, and I never even got an invitation to any Windsor weddings... sigh
