Thank you again my SHINING STAR Vee. You are tireless and unrelenting in our Skeels Project. I had no idea what a wonderful gift I was to receive when you joined us here. Thank you for your endless hours and all the effort in finding those of our past ancestors. You truly are a shining star and a gift. Our project is about to officially end with the new year. Two years is long enough, and I'd say we have successfully completed our task of documenting all in our Skeels Line. Well done YOU!

RE "Direct descendant of Bela III King of Hungary Arpadhazi-4 , my 27th great-grandfather" - you may or may not know about the recent DNA research results of King Bela III. achieved by the Minister Kasler led team of the Hungarian Root Research Institute working together with many international geneologists and archeogenetics. These results are important concerning the male line of the Turul dynasty - aka the House of Arpad. https://mki.gov.hu/hu
RE DNA testing from 23andme.com shows that I have inherited 0.6% DNA from the Iberian peninsula area, evidence of this small amount of ancestry during the 12th-13th centuries. - With regard to this DNA testing I suppose the mediatized Croy Solre as well as the Crouy Chanel families may have significant Arpadian ancestry results in their males - in case they risk the tests.
As a historian I wish I had - what I do not have with my German ancestry living in Hungary - relational reasons for affecting them to do so. :)

PS: If you have any sources (documents) which would help detail this period history - please let me know.
