hi whisperer

that's a fair point. and thankyou for adding a scientific side to these queries.

in my case though....there would be no way (i know never say never but) i could be related to nobility.

i am from remote scottish and irish peasant stock. unless henry viii went for a horse ride in the scottish braes and glens one day and felt a bit randy ...and there happened to be my hardened, rough speaking, hard working great great great great great great great great grandmother washing clothes with 4 children on her hips and 5 more at her ankles...giving him the eye.... ;)
