Well the programme format was much as I had it explained to me. I found it enjoyable and will watch further episodes.
I think they said there were about 10 in total 
What did become apparent was the strong family impact, I have long thought that it was the reason why they declined my story, not enough of us  just me and my youngest son, elder one did not want to know.
It was obvious that the had found a connection otherwise they would not have been there but they did seem genuinely surprised.

over 60 and still wearin' genes!

Just looked at the description of the first programme - looks like another one in the same vein as the Bill Oddie series on Channel 4!
How does being related to Grace Kelly make someone Royal?

Hi Lizzie and Bill,
Do you guys mean Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco or another Grace Kelly 
Are you close relatives or somewhat distant
Your rights to be called Royal would possibly be strengthened if you can also establish family connections to ...
Rainier III, Prince of Monaco (Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi; 31 May 1923 – 6 April 2005) 
You don't have any Irish ancestors, do you In the olden times there were Kings of Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught. It was some considerable time ago so there could be problems establishing the connection.
It's much more fun being a mere commoner 
Chris

Hi Chris
I'm certainly not related to The Princess of Monaco, otherwise known as Grace Kelly. It was just that in the description of the programme, which seemed to suggest it was about people with royal blood, it mentioned that some of the people who took part were related to Grace Kelly.
I was wondering what the definition of being related to a royal is, if being related to Grace Kelly who only married into royalty, makes you related to royalty too.
By the way, I heard she wasn't quite the serene highness before she married her prince, rather more a rip roaring showgirl!
Liz

Its not a question of whether you want to be related to royalty, if you are ,you are, its, therefore, a personal choice as to whether you seek recognition or not , myself I would have loved to have had the opportunity.

The one good thing about being descended from royalty is that it sometimes makes it easier to trace the family lines back further and lots of royalty intermarried.

I think our family has a very tenuous link to a character called HALFDAN THE OLD who was born between 690 and 786, and died in 800. His descendents came over with William 1 ... 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'm quite happy with my ag.lab's, Durham miners, Dorset button makers, and Hampshire house-maids. Everytime I weed my veg garden, I say a quiet 'Thank you' to Isaac, William, Samuel, Moses and John, those sons of the soil that resulted in me !!

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
