Important note: Even though we have multiple shared Great Grandparents, we're not of close consanguinity since our most recent mutual relative (direct or indirect) dates back to 542 years ago. ; )
I'm including a link to page I am working on that gives a brief history of the early battles of England and Europe. I will be highlighting Great Grandfathers in the passage and eventually tie together with links to our own family pages. Here's the link:

Gary's GGF/GGM are orange where the ancestors are the same.
For a complete list and links to their individual pages click the link below for our project space we've devoted just to this:
I am listing 2 from this chart above on this page because the Queen had an interesting background and the character of the other was noteworthy!

Almost all signers of Magna Carta have this Great Grandfather in common.
I am counting both of our different family lines leading back to this Great Grandfather...there are over 25 so far.
I have a page devoted to this Great Grandfather because he had a tremendous impact for what today is considered England. Magna Carta Grandsons of King Alfred the Great
Coming soon... Screenshots of Relationship to Ælfred of Wessex

King of Scotland Bruce I (1274-1329 AD) - 21st GGF Robert the Bruce
I am repeating this Great Grandfather (Robert I) because this is the point where our Family History intersects with Royal Family Tree and can then be traced back to King David and then to Adam.
I am uploading Wikitree family line to 7 BC as well as a Royal Lineage Chart that shows this complete Royal Family Line to Adam.
Our family intersects at #132. (K. Robert I. Bruce) on the Royal Line chart.

From Princess to Queen of Ireland Princess/Queen Tea-Tephi - ( ~580 BC)
Princess Tephi is one of my absolute favorite relatives and the journey she went through.
Here is an interesting website that gives some insight of her history and eventual marriage to the King of Ireland which unified the line of Judah (twin sons Pharez and Zarah) : [1]
If you would like to look at online Archive of "The Book of Tephi" published in 1897 click this link: [2]
On the chart above (The Queen's Royal Descent from King David) look at: #50. K. Heremon (fl. B.C. 580), Tea Tephi.

I will be setting up a Projects Page with a few individual links that I find interesting. Something to note is that every single person on this Queens Royal Line page is a Great Grandparent from Robert the Bruce back to Adam. My hope is that this will help you start to relate more personally to names from history! : )
