Mary's Grandfather ,King James 1V, is my Grandfather 16x removed.Her aunt ,Princess Janet Stewart ,his daughter, is my direct ancestor .

Mary is my 1st cousin 14xs removed, and James Stewart King of Scots is my 14th great grandfather 4 different ways (through 4 other people) it says.

It's a bit confusing, but my dad's mother and father are both Scott's Campbell's, Macdonalds , Gordons & Stewart's etc.

I was just shown I was related to King James (VI) (1) so that would mean I am also related to Mary Queen of Scots.

Hi cuz from Oz...

Answer 16

Mary (Stewart) Queen of Scots - 18° - 4th C 12xR

Mary (Stewart) Queen of Scots is related to me through my Wilson/Lawson/Higginbotham/Noland line. This line seems to be prevalent in many of the "Are you related or connected to" posts. The funny thing is that my dad had a story that our family was related to Mary Queen of Scots & that the father of 2 brothers & a sister who came over at the end of her life was a Gentleman in Waiting to her. The kids, supposedly, wanted their father to come with them, but he chose to stay with his Queen & die as she died. What a story! Turns out that he is also related to Mary Queen of Scots, but my mother is 18° & her 4th C 11xR to my fathers 17° & his 4th C 14xR.

Answer 17

We are direct descendants of Mary Queen of Scots family.  My grandmother was pure Scottish, and her family had a ruby red wine decanter that was one of 12 used in the queen's dining hall.  My youngest sister is now in possession of decanter.  I have been trying to convince her to send it to Sterling castle so it can be displayed on permanent loan in its home

Answer 18

19 degrees, we are 5th cousins 14x removed

Answer 19
