Hey, I love genealogy. My friend and I are planning a whole week in Salt Lake City in June. I love www.ancestry.com. I'm 5th cousin to Elvis Presley . . . but I can't sing!
Joyful hugs,

cool
i'm not gonna start listing mine here-cuz it would mean lotsa cut and paste....don't mean to sound obnoxious--it's the boleyn in me!haha! !! they were bratty wenches!!!!!
mine are the netherlands (william wallas) and england tho i don't think any scots... the british aside from the boleyns go thru the deNeville line and the Greystokes (tarzan story!)--and the spencers (lady di)
oh and that borden-the milk guy--we are also related to lizzie and her axe!!! and johnny ringo (Tombstone fame) and susan b anthony and i forget who else right now-mark twain and.......
darlene- i think your australian lineage sounds interesting cuz i hafta wonder where they came from???and do you have any howards in your australian line?
there are Thomas Howard 2nd Duke of Norfolk father to 3rd duke of Norfolk (and then 5th Duke comes in somewhere)-they took turns being lotsof other distinctions,-there's philip 20th earl of arundel and another thomas-21st earl then Sir henry Howard, 22nd earl of Arundel--his son, Henry Howard , 6th Duke of Norfolk, is i think where my Thomas Howard who came to America ( and died at the King Phillip's war 1675) falls in....
put all of them behind me in a line somewhere and i still couldn't buy you a cup of coffee!!!!!!!
but it'sstill cool to know they are there!!!
i am actually more impressed with my newer ancestors as i am learning what they went thru in the settling of this country and the wars etc....and of course i am extremely impressed with my descendants--my grands!! cuz they are mine in the more immediate flesh!!!!!
Nice lineage there girlfriend. . . royalty hey!
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
