Susan,

  This is so interesting to me because according to Wikitree I am 10 degrees away from Queen Elizabeth Tudor.  It appears that several people (that know how to do genealogy much better than I currently do) get annoyed at me asking about my Plantagenet Kniges Blut (German for royal blood), however, they should just get over it.  The reasons for this are many and include #1 I am still in the process of discovering my royal blood status (this all being new to me!), #2 It is simply a game... it's all just a game n life (imho) and #3 It's fun to check & recheck my ancestry to try and make new discoveries that are new (to me!)...  such as you and I are related!  Cheers.

Congrats on your WW Susan!
I think that the reason some people get 'annoyed' is not that you want to know, but that you could actually have found it out yourself by using some of WT's excellent tools.  Keep searching - but learn how to use things like the Relationship Finder and you won't need to keep asking questions. :)
My guess is those that were 'annoyed' are even more put off by being told to 'get over it'. If you ever decide to Wiki for yourself, those that you annoy and offend today may not be there to help you tomorrow.
And consider that it is not a game to all the WikiTreers who have spent time helping you over this past year.

Thank you Susan, and congrats on another WW Award!yesyes

Thank you Michael for recognizing Susan, and for being so enthusiastic about finding your roots!  When my wife found out that she was 1st cousin to Mary Queen of Scots and a granddaughter of Robert the Bruce, she went CRAZY!

She was even more ballistic when she found out I was the descendants of those who cleaned the horse manure of the barn!  As long as she has something over me....right?wink

WikiTree is a fun place to find your family!  Thanks again!
