So You Think You are Royal

[slightlyfoxed]

... and some of our Pomeroys came over with William ... so as I said, VERY tenous ! We may share about half a gene with the wonderfully named Halfdan !

 I hope you have found the Pomeology website. DNA has shown that apart for the lords Halburtons of Ireland there are almost no Pomeroys who definetely connect back to the Norman family. Pity because my Great Grandmother was a Pomeroy.
If youre interested Check out my Pomeroy websites

Do we have to address any members of RootsChat as "Your Highness"
or is everyone still attempting to establish their Royal connections

There's Lord Hackstaple and Lady Gadget for starters !!

I have Dudley's from Northamptonshire in my family history. I would like to think they were associated with someone royal, THEN all the research work would be done for me and I wouldn't have to bother

But you'd miss the excitement of the chase ?  No 'YIPPEE' moments ?

Patrish,
          I'm almost sure it was Frances Stuart who modelled for Britannia, on all the coins...

Just finished watching tonight's episode on Grace Kelly- and I thought it was actually quite good. You got the sense of things taking time and not being easy and instant, they went through Parish Records and had to look through graveyards searching for clues... Plus interesting biographical film on Grace Kelly.  All in all not bad!

Not quite sure it warranted quite so many tears from the would-be Royals though

Lambkin, our Dudleys are rumoured to be the family from Dudley castle but so far they're ironworks engineers from Bilston, not nearly so glamourous!  I'm only just back to the 18th century so far, so I guess there's a way to go yet.
I'll let you know if I find any links to Northamptonshire but you seem way further back than me already if you're talking 16th century.

Yes Hepburn you are quite right 

 Evidently Charles was fascinated with her, but she vowed never to become his mistress but history says she ran away to marry her third cousin The Earl of Lennox  much to Charles  displeasure and  gave birth to a child within the first year of her marriage which historians say  was Charles's. which is my link but of course  it can never be proved.
