One of my ancestors was the king of England's keeper of the stool.

My family crest had 3 seashells on it. It was incorporated into the british royal flag.

Yeah pretty interesting. English,german irish and a smidgen of native american..
My mom was into geneology,she discovered all this stuff and researched it all..

We even had a witch in our family who the christian menfolk would not let be buried on hallowed ground,so she was buried under a big oak tree with female pall bearers,the men refused to carry her. But when they got sick they came to her for help rather than the church where they'd pray about it.

Fascinating the stuff you can find from family history.
