My Royal Lineage

[Berzerker]

what it does mean is I have Huguenots or something blood in me if thata makes sense.

Weren't the Huguenots a segment of the French who refused to turn in Jews during WWII and hid them when the Nazis were gathering them up for extermination?

lol doody

Gee, last time I can remember people making fun of last names was grade school, nice to see you are staying young, But O'Dowd seems to be the more common denominator since it appears to be a mix between O'Dubhda with a short "u" and the long "u" in O'Doody. Our name uses the short "u" as in "Dubhda". We have a "Brazil" line in our family which may be of Portugeuse influence but I can't be sure on that.

My name is O'Connor we were the last High Kings of Ireland (true), a few hundred years ago Berzerker would have been my b!tch.

Ah, so you guys were the British hand puppets who lost control of Ireland while my ancestors were autonomous. to Pagan Ireland when a king was a king and not Limey a$$-kissers.

no, they were religious refugees from France in early modern times.

Berz, one or two of my dynasty may have done what was nessacery to get by, but the fact remains your ancestors were my ancestors b!tches!!

My aunt did a geneological search and found at least 1 ancestor who fought under William the Conqueror.

Not true. Some were, I bet lkie 90% of polytubbies, but my ancestors were hardcore. All the way up to Adam and Eve, they were the badasses. Real hardcore seed. You can't do nothing about it and it pisses you off that the pasty big bellied pantyhose wearing wannabe kings never had the balls to enter my ancestors lands. This is true.

They were the French Protestants.

My ancestors were kings ~1,000 years before y'all showed up and became British hand puppets.

Have you got any good (free) sites? My family is from Liverpool and then Ireland where should I go?

[Dr Strangelove]

Our family can claim relationship to two American presidents. IMHO that trumps any Euro royal skeletons you can dredge up from your family closet.

[Ecthy]

which presidents?

[Pekka]

Euro Kings > US presidents.

By far.

Of course it doesn't mean it's nothing to be in relations with the presidents. It's of course great. But it's nothing huge. Kings are huge. And badasses.

We were Kings, to claim a 'relationship' with a President probably means your Great Great Great Aunty was a prostitute who went two's up on Jefferson and Washington.
