You Might Be Royalty And Not Know It

As a genealogist in training, I have loved researching my family history since I was a teenager. For the past 10 years especially, Ancestry.com has helped me put together the pieces of a very interesting family tree.

Right now I have over 5000 connections in my tree and many stories of both heroes and villains.

All family trees have both. I have found discovering these people and their stories the most fulfilling thing about genealogy.

I have always been obsessed with English medieval history. I knew there was some English in my family tree, but did not know how much. From childhood until the present, I have loved watching medieval shows and movies. I have always wanted to go to England and visit castles.

So when the series “The White Queen” premiered on Starz in 2013, I was hooked. I must have watched the series 4 times and wondered why am I so obsessed with the York family?
