It's actually very common, if people to search back far enough and if their families came over from Europe, to find relations. So, a LOT more of us
are related than we think.
My ancestor was Sir Charles Gavan duffy who fought the opression of the irish and started the Nation, which set the grounds for the IRA. It is in my
blood to fight to the death for freedom.
best bit was, the queen didnt know he became the first premier of Victoria Australia, and she knighted him... not knowing who he was.
The Royal family has done a big job of trying to cover this up in History as it is an embarassment to the crown as he was originally ordered to be
hung drawn and quartered, but instead sent to Australia as a convict.
Silly b**h thought he died.... guess not. LOL
she filled her nappy up when she got back to england and realised who she just knighted.
my grandmother is a stuard which was the Royal family to my knowledge which gyfawlks tried to explode.
