inveniam viam

If one of my ancestress' claims is true, that she was the granddaughter of Elizabeth's William Cecil, then it appears Robert the Bruce is my 19th great-grandfather, and I'm related veeerrrry distantly to all the Scottish nobility.

But even more fun is that if this is true, I'm a direct decedent of Eleanor of Aquitaine, through her son John Lackland.

If I'm related to nobility, anybody can be!

The route to Eleanor, if anyone is interested:
