My cousin did a lot of research of our English line. I have mostly European in me, with the addition of both parents being part Native American, including Cherokee. Our English line showed a ton of famous people we are related to. I was most thrilled about finding out about Madeleine Astor. He even found out we are related to the current royal family, and I am doubly related to William and Harry through their mother, as well as their father through Philip Mountbatten. I theory that anyone who has British ancestry can be tied in easier with others who are British, as well. Someone in the Titanic world told me they might be related to Madeleine, as well, but they weren't sure at the time they told me that. I can't find out from my cousin which side we are related to her, though, through Force or Talmage. We are related, as my dad, and my cousin's dad, are her 8th cousins, though my uncle is deceased.

Melinda, I'm distantly related to the Ryersons (the passengers as well as the crewman.)
