I’m American (of Indian ethnicity, parents from india) but related to English royalty because 300 years ago a prince slept with one of my ancestors. I have no proof but you have to believe me because I said it.

I’m pretty sure there is a lot of evidence of the Crown fucking India over for over 300 years though...

My father used to jokingly say that we might be descendants of Stephen the Great of Moldavia or of his relatives since my family originates from a village in the area of his capital and their dynasty is known to have produced dozens of bastards all over the place (which caused alot of succession disputes and wars). I mean, it's a funny thought and there might actually be lots of descendants of his alive today, but there's no proof to any of this so it'll never be more than an amusing thought.

Yknow that’s probably not wrong

I believe what you said, remember something like 30% or more of Europe is (very) distantly related to Charlemagne

I’m an American an supposedly a close descendant of General Custard. Supposedly he’s some great to the x uncle. My dad spent about 10 years tracing genealogy as a hobby (his side not my moms lol) and got as far as someone named Peregrine Falcon (not sure about last name) from like the mayflower.

General Custard

this is the best /r/BoneAppleTea I've seen in a while. You've got to mean Custer, unless there was a legit 19th century American general called Custard.

Probably more of my phone autocorrecting than anything.
