It's amazing how "happy" (what are they all on?) so many people are so very willing to accept all sorts of very loosely connected connections. I'm with you on this - I never believe it, either! I've sweated blood, money and ink to get my lot mostly back to 1500s (except of course for the really stubborn Irish ones, who refuse totally to be found prior to mid/ late 1800s) - and I'm amazed how many simply lap it up!
But some careful and
initially sceptical people have thought to check for themselves and then spent many hours/days/weeks or more of blood sweat and tears looking through centuries old wills, land records and the like to check for themselves, and some have found the line is correct after all, and they do descend from nobility and royalty.
