Joshua, How is Princess Anna Lobkowicz related to you?

Of Ambassador Prince Maximilian's three sons, your grandfather Oliver was youngest.
Of the Ambassador's six Lobkowicz grandsons, your father Mark was youngest.
However, of the Ambassador's seven Lobkowicz great-grandsons, you totally reverse the pattern, being the oldest of them. A relatively rare genealogical phenomenon in large families.

How interesting.
And “Dancing and dying for Napoléon” seems like quite the interesting read. I reached out to the author for a copy. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Kind Regards.

Though we are not personally acquainted, we are of the same generation so I would consider her a cousin. Sadly, I do not know off hand exactly where our common ancestor is. I am most familiar with the Roudnice branch of the family and only recently have begun making connections with my more distant relatives.

Best Regards,

I love this article! Thanks Often history books goals recycle events already covered ad nauseum with a spin using the authors opinion for or against the events.

When someone takes the time to provide a dissertation on everyday details and family stories, they bring to life other circumstances around events we know from school or research. The how and why and the reactions of people present, often kept in their memories and journals, make reading history much more personal.

Common patrilineal ancestor: Prince Ferdinand August (1655-1715). Joshua is a tenth generation descendant of Prince Ferdinand August through an older son, while Anna is a ninth-generation descendant through a younger son.

Forget Ancestry and 23 and Me, this is where the experts gather if you need research on a family tree!

That's why I love about this forum with so many threads assisted by the dedicated research of forum members from all over the planet.

Joshua, Have you researched any churches for baptism records?
