No, I think only TC knows any of it, and barely that.
I’ve traced my genealogy back through the generations as far as Finland, when it was called Kvinland; easy to do when your lines go through the Royals.

I have probably 4800 entries in my genealogy, and that’s just the direct lines. I did the genealogy for my neighbor in Tucson a few years ago, and surprisingly to us, our lines met at the Mayflower! Our paternal ancestors married sisters. My particular paternal ancestor was washed overboard during a massive storm (he was an indentured servant, and was 17) but when the ship rolled again, his arm was caught in the rigging and he was brought back aboard.

It is in the Mayflower captain’s log, so there is documentation, and not just “legend.”

There are knights and ladies, and castle conspiracies, and illigitate children of the Royals and I found myself becoming so enthralled that I began to read all the bios and histories I could find.

It’s something that, once I start, I become totally engrossed in, and it’s difficult to tear myself away. however, the computer chair I have is not conducive to sitting here for hours on end with no awareness of time except for when my eyes burn and I can’t stand up! LOL!

There are still a lot of entries that need to be done on the genealogy, and photos when I can find them, and several personal histories that I will be able to dictate, now that I have Dragon software. I just need to get busy.

What fun! I guess I just don’t know how to search.
Not worried about it, though. I need to figure out how to address our country’s dire situation optimally in my own small way, first.

There is no I'm in "illigitate" because no one wants to admit anything.
