I was cross because many years ago, someone took a GEDCOM I gave in confidence, and published the tree on a public site.

He then proceeded to add to it. According to him, I am directly descended to the man who planned the murder of Thomas a Becket, and I am related to William the Conqueror! I am royal!  :o

That all rather supposes that my gggggg grandfather sired a child at 11 years old...  ::)

i know im related to a few of the lords and ladies of the land i just cant prove the link yet. my father is a moore and his great grand unlce was given the middlenames saville foljambe with the surname moore. it didnt take a lot fo research to find out about francis ferrand moore, and the saville foljambe family, but as yet i cant find where this noble family tie in, other than a great great uncle moore having the saville foljameb name given to him. (his parents were wiliam and mary i think off the top of my head!)

Might do.  :D

In 1804 the Kray Twins ancestor Mary Obey wed in 1804 and one of the witnesses was my ancestor Samuel Obey. Samuel also witnessed a few other of his childrens marriages. His signature was pretty much bang on in all of them. And when Mary Obey's daughter wed in 1827 my 1783 born ancestor's brother William Obey witnessed the wedding.

A distant relative of mine (we share the same gt-gt-gt-grandparents) claims on her extensive online family tree to be descended from the kings of England and Scotland. Her tree goes right back to the 5th century AD.   This may well be true, but strangely she hasn't yet managed to get my birth date and those of my husband and children right and has made us at least 10 years older than we are.  >:(  It would have been so easy for her to check on FreeBMD, which makes me wonder how many other errors she has made.

My Dad was told by his father that they were descended from John Bunyan. 
This is absolutely true, John Bunyan is my ancestor.  Just not that John Bunyan.

WellI can well and truly claim to have blue blood - Billy was my ggg grandfather.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

And if Adam and Eve were the first humans then we all must be descended from them.
But tell me, if Adam and Eve had two sons Cain and Abel and maybe a daughter, was incest not a sin in those days?
Otherwise, how then did Cain and Abel get to have progeny?
