Hello Norwegianne You probably knew that my Direct Ancestor is King Canute The Great Through the Canute/Cornett Connection. And King Canute The Great's GrandFather is King Harald Bluetooth When I first Found out About This in 2004 through doing some genealogy research on My Father's Side of the Family on Rootsweb.com And Ancestry.com Those are the two main Genealogy research websites. When I First found out about this in 2004 I was Shocked. And Happy At the same time.
