Answer 1

Hello Michael.

William (Plantagenet) Longespée is your 23rd great grandfather (open the drop-down menu with William's ID, Plantagenet-1612, and click on "Relationship to Me").

William the Conqueror is your 27th great grandfather.

I didn’t know about this menu item! I apparently have several lines of descent from this guy! This is a nice feature.
