That's Wonderful, Leo!

Can you tell us any more about your plans along those lines?

Cheers,

| I wonder how many people are so silly to do that. I think people should try
| to find as many ancestors as possible and IF they find a link to nobility or
| royalty---that is just a bonus.
| I think it is great if they find one, not because royalty or nobility is
| "better", but because those are often better recorded and you are able to
| trace them back so much further.
|
| I believe, and I may well be wrong, that most Caucasian people are descended
| from royalty but the proof in most cases is missing. For many years I have
| been collecting data, I have "from Australian Aborigines to Roman Emperors"
| in my system but I have given up many years ago any expectations to find a
| 'royal' link for myself, and I don't care.
|
| If all goes well, and I do not see any reasons why it shouldn't, and with
| the hard work of two other people (I sit back and enjoy it :-) I hope that
| my data base, by then over 400,000 entries, will go on to the Internet and
| hope that this may help many others with their search.
