I&#39;ve traced my grandmother&#39;s side back to the 1400s and other lines back (just not as far). One of my ancestors was born in a castle (but not to the king, BAH!) and another was born on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic. I discovered that my husband is descended from an admiral in the British Royal Navy who was knighted by King Charles II in 1675. We even found a portrait of him (the ancestor, not King Charles, lol) on the web. Of course my husband teased me that he has loftier ancestors than I do...argh! Just kidding, lol.<br /><br />The DNA tests sound fascinating, don&#39;t they? I&#39;ve heard that some have been shocked by the results because the DNA shows they don&#39;t belong to the family they thought they did.Cindy @ Fenced in Familyhttp://www.fencedinfamily.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-58483119336263447402009-06-17T13:58:04.527-04:002009-06-17T13:58:04.527-04:00My wife bought the DNA test for me as a Christmas gift. The results were worth the cost. Our family came to America from England in 1634.Secondary Roadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-85195050763915802782009-06-17T13:37:11.906-04:002009-06-17T13:37:11.906-04:00I&#39;ve got my mom&#39;s dad&#39;s line all the way to the 1500 - we are originally from Prussia. Interesting, I&#39;m going to check into the ancestry dna bit.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02909538773824737674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-70854966570132001342009-06-16T13:55:27.288-04:002009-06-16T13:55:27.288-04:00Rebecca (and anyone else interested), the DVDs on the Celts I watched I got through our library and here is the info: The Celts: rich traditions and ancient myths / a BBC-TV production in association with FR3 Bretagne-Pays de Loire and Österreichischer Rundfunk ; written by Frank Delaney ; produced by Tony McAuley ; directed by David Richardson. ISBN: 0790787083. It was extremely interesting, but also very long (I think about 6 hours total). I&#39;m not sure I could have gotten through the entire thing had I not been sick and stuck on the couch, but I am glad I had that opportunity to watch the whole thing.Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01747445293077378146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-37390532140951227682009-06-16T13:15:17.365-04:002009-06-16T13:15:17.365-04:00P.S.
