I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.
The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.
How is everyone else going?

matega, there are NO royals in the USA, but all Americans seem to want to be royal and so they can muck up the trees to try and include one or more royals just to feel important :^O
I think you are on to the same line I am on and I am constantly amazed at how often I find that ancient people back in, say, 900AD 'migrated' to America :^O
If you would like any further information you can contact me through member to member ๐

Just a comment on the American preoccupation with Royalty. Some of you here will know that I am married to a Canadian and there are also a number cousins in the US. Our surname is hyphenated....Middleton-xxxxxx, although we mostly use just the last part. My husband's parents were born in England.
I recently heard from an American cousin who informed me that Middleton was the maiden name of their great great grandmother, who brought the name into the family surname.
This cousin and our nephew are now busily trying to establish a link between the American Middleton-xxxxxx family and the newest British Princess (their terminology, not mine).
Hi Lyndal, yes that is what the Americans do... I have learned to be very careful if I come across a 'hint' with KING something or PRINCESS so-and-so.. The other day I found a COUNTESS and an EARL who simply, on further investigation were nothing of the sort :^O
Your on the money Flashie with the saint. One of them started a benadictine nunnery at Nivelles and then joined herself after the death of her husband. (Saint Itta) Her daughter then took over and she became Saint Beggue.
All the royals are from France, belgium, germany etc no USA so Im pretty sure we are on the right track. I just love some of the names Charles Karl "The Hammer" Martel Mayor of the palace Austrasia, (He sounds like a thug), Regnier III "Long neck" Count of Hainault, (he sounds like a turtle.) Its so interesting but so addictive Ive done nothing today but play with dead people.
That link on saints was me metaga, just in case you need to refer to it again ๐
I've just explored 'Curious Fox' and discovered I signed up some months ago :^O, so I have entered my Gibson family search and will see what happens to it.
