Hi,

Matthew Howard (1609-1659) is my 10th Great Grandfather, too. I understand there is some dispute as to who his father was. And, that person seems to be our link to the medieval Kings and Queens. Have you done any more research on your line to confirm this lineage?

Thanks,

Sean Mather

The Campbell Connection

I'm currently researching my family tree. Have found out that I'm a direct descendant of King James 1V - he's my 11th great grandfather!
The connection is via the Campbell line. Archibald Campbell is my 13th great grandfather, and I share this ancestry with Princess Diana, as she is also a direct descendant of them. Fascinating!
 
Matthew Howard

I did a quick search on Matthew Howard, and came across this https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/111900196/matthew-howard

At the time of the Domesday Book (1086) the isles probably had a population of less than 2 million. (Much less than in Roman times). Almost thousand years furtherer we can say almost all natives on the British isles can trace their descent to William the Conqueror, with all possible zig-zag through the genealogical web.

:lol:

I'm sure this is true. It's fun to piece it together if you can though. I've done mine on my Scottish father's side & found a direct line back to Robert the Bruce via his daughter Princess Marjorie. Down through Earls & Baronets via younger sons & daughters, it's easy to see how they can end up with farmers as descendants. :lol:
 
I was working on my tree this morning, and found out I descend from Robert I on my dad's side.
