I've hit royalty, now what ?
« on: Saturday 13 February 10 14:57 GMT (UK) »
After years of census abuse, walking through cemetrys, trying to read dodgy handwriting from the 1800's , trying to work out where Aunt Maud went.........................( you know the story ! ).

I've finally got the link to Edward I and therefore all the way back to William I ( with just about every historical character in-between ). In fact I have seven direct links.

I have a direct link to William I through the usual family names , Champernoun, Courtenay, Bonville etc.


I'm not sure what to do with it ?  Entry into some peerage book , ask for a discount at Lidl , Buy a Corgi ?


Suggestions on a postcard to :

You'll have to behave now and not get involved in any trouble. Once the press get a whiff of a royal scandal they will be camped outside your front door.

I think there are quite a few that would have a link to Henry I as there is a lot of published information about him on the net and although it can't be proved (due to his many affairs) I to have a supposed link to him.
