I found out a year or two ago that my great(x13) grandfather and all his heirs down to my great grandfather held the title Baron de Magnan (French). The family still maintained its fortunes and estates all the way until WW2. My great-great grandfather kept a "Book of the Family" traces the family history from the 13th century. My avatar is actually a pic of the coat of arms displayed in the book. It is a cool feeling when you find out you are nobility. But then again, in this wonderful world we live in it amounts to absolutely nothing.

I have a good chance of being related to Ghengis Khan.

I just Discovered two new things. Two Men within my Bloodline were Teutonic knights, And Although I'm more closely related to William the 3rd, I am also related to Adolf the king of Germany in the mid 13th century.
