Ancestry/Genealogy

when I got to wondering about the possibility of being related to royalty/nobility at some point.

The population going way back was not what is is today, so the possibility does exist.

People with English ancestors who have French-sounding last names likely are related to those who went to England with William the Conqueror and given Knighthoods and land. I have a few of those.

I've been looking for evidence of First Nations ancestors because of the family stories told by my dad of having ties there (he always said it was Penobscot) but haven't been able to find anything concrete even though a cousin has given me family info that says our g.g.g.g. grandmother was a full blooded Micmac who married a French Canadian man in the early 1800s.

You just never know where this stuff will lead you....
