Look what came in the mail for me today! :rofl: I cut out my real name.

I decided I needed to do some crazy things this year so I sent a card congratulating Prince Carl-Philip and Princess Sofia on their wedding and I got a card back that said "we wish to extend our sincere gratitude for all the considering shown to us on the occasion of our wedding. We highly...

Then we'd better change it to "the Duchess of Cambridge still pregnant..." Kate might thank us later.... :whistling:

I would either spend time with Prince Charles, Prince Philip or Queen Elizabeth: just to hear their stories. I could picture myself sitting on the floor and listening to them all day... Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel would be my second go to royals, especially Prince Daniel because...

I've been watching this show from time to time on July, and am really impatient to get series 3! It's been really interesting to see the different visions for Spain's future being played out. It seems that Carrillo and Paccheco wanted to use Enrique, Isabel and Fernando as puppets while they...

It's probably a combination of time, mileage reimbursement/gas, paying for copies of vital records, obituaries, etc... Believe me, on on one trip to the courthouse my dad and I spent $52 for death and birth records. Getting vital records can add up pretty fast. Last spring I was charged $9.00...

Well, I got to go to work. I think I'll spend my drive figuring a way to keep this pulled up while I work....

That cartoon choked me up!

Really sad to hear this news. :sad: She was one of my favorites.

I love that kid! I'd like to babysit her just once!

I can sit and listen to Prince Michael all day...

Even for regular folks you do have some degree of interpretation, especially in situations where digging up a couple of graves to do a DNA test is impossible because you don't have the documents to prove the connection! Thanks Duc_et_Pair, you have me another rabbit trail to follow. Johan...

I just reran my genealogy report on the Percy's and found a few more interesting people in it: James Dean, Richard Nixon and the Earls of Carnarvon.

It's fascinating for sure, and I feel that you can see the evolution of Europe through genealogy.
