lol...I just learned I am descended from Wilhelm V, "the Rich," Duke of Julich-Cleves-Berg...

in life •  6 years ago  (edited)

...of whom Wikipedia says the following:

"William's sister Anne of Cleves was, for six months, the fourth wife of King Henry VIII of England. Through his daughter Marie Eleonore, he is ancestor of Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel, wife of John William Friso, Prince of Orange therefore ancestor of all the current European monarchs."


(Anybody see the family resemblance...lol...)

Of course, William of Orange became King of England along with is wife Mary in the so-called "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, when England went Protestant for good...

Should I go over to Germany and see I've got a castle or two to lay claim to?

LOL.

My brother just paid to have our ancestry checked out, and it turns out I'm SOMEBODY, after all...lol...

So what you are trying to tell me is your actually part of the elite, obviously just here to spread disinformation to all of us stupid pee-ons ;) LoL.

Sucks that your brother got that dna test done.. Now they have all of your information too! We the people are the products in the DNA industry even though they have convinced us that they are helping us to "find out who we are." Its incredible that people are paying companies to take the most valuable information they have, our dna. It's really really scary to be honest.

Excellent points.

LOL...I know right? Unfortunately, my brother never asked if I wanted to be included on his charts, but what are you going to do?

LOL...I will never give them my actual DNA though, and have no plans to do what he did.

P.S. If you came to see the ramshackle old farm house we live in, you'd know we are definitely not really part of the elite....

LoL, I know your not one of them greedy bastards, you work to hard exposing them and their terrible tactics. I just thought it was funny to say ;)

unfortunately, if they have your brothers dna they don't really need yours, thru his they have all of your immediate families identifying markers :( However I totally understand ur position, my family also thinks its a good idea to do a dna test and I have been trying stop them. To be honest I think they have done it now and just didn't tell me the results because of my views on it. That's life I guess.

I'm like you though, they can take my DNA and give me vaccines while they are preying my rifle from my could dead hands.. ;)

AMEN!

Yea...I don't think there is any claim I can lay to anything other than the "title" of having been distantly related to important people 400 years ago...like that matters now...lol...
