These old family stories often bear investigation. One of ours was that we were related to minor nobility . . . I even have copies of begging letters written in victorian times to prove the legend has been in existence for many generations. I don't imagine they were successful . . . the addressee was a banker!
After extensive research I still haven't found anything conclusive, but it looks as if I might just be a 12th cousin to an extinct baronetcy . . . the possible common ancestor having died in 1581 . . .
