Prince William, Duke of Cambridge - Cousins everywhere ...

Back to the subject, one thing I've noticed is that most English and Scottish Dukes seem to be descended via one particular man, my 10th GG, William Douglas, 1st Marquis of Douglas . This makes them all cousins. The Royal Dukes, including Wills (11th cousin), come through the Drummond and Stewart lines for me. Now the interesting thing is that these families all habited the Scottish lowlands in a line running South West from Douglas, through Sandilands, up to Dunfermline and Perth, and on to Glamis (a favourite Royal Scottish castle). This seems to be the main source area for much of European royalty today. Is it perhaps co-incidental that families such as the Sandilands and Douglases also had strong links to historical Knights Templar families? The concentration of power, which is still manifest in royal families to this day, is quite astounding. Whilst the upper classes may not be that rich in cash terms, they have immense wealth in land, with only around 400 people owning over three quarters of Scotland, for instance. The same is true, albeit to a lesser extent, in England.

Thanks Bevan, for the info. Now I know I'm related to him too!

William Douglas, 1st Marquis of Douglas is Traci Elizabeth's third great grandfather's wife's nephew's wife's great niece's ex-husband's ex-wife's husband's 9th great grandfather!

Private User,

Thanks for letting us know about it. I have completed all of the outstanding merges and tree conflicts around him.

Prince William is my 9th cousin from the Spencer side of the family.

You have a Spencer line too Thomas Nelson???

Valerie, you and I are third cousins on the Hopkins line. Both of us flow to the Spencer family line. You and I have over two hundred Kings in our family line going back to 100 BC. You have my email address from before if you want more information.

I dont have a connection either Per Anders Dencker! to god or Adam.

Greetings, More cousins....11th cousin from one line, 15th cousin from another and 17th from another too. Blessings

PS..Also 15th cousin's once removed husband and a cousin of his Mom's.

John of Gaunt is 16th great-grandfather. Seems if you get far enough back into genealogy, you get into all of these royal and noble ancestors...plus the ones we love, the common blokes too! It is a lot of fun!
