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.
