Does anyone know where I can take a DNA test to check for any royal ancestry? Any websites that include that in the tests? Would be great to know, thank you.

@WhoDoYouThinkYouAre 5 лет назад

Here's an article on our website which compares all the different types of DNA tests on the market - www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/what-dna-test-should-you-take

@loopop7299 5 лет назад

Ancestry.com does a DNA test but you won’t find one that connects you to royalty. You’d probably be better researching or paying somebody to do a family tree for you

The Gosnold family founded the Jamestown Virginia colony in 1607. The Robert born in 1611 was the nephew of one of the founders. Two of his Gosnold cousins were on the council as was his cousin Edward Maria Wingfield, the first president of the colony.

@juandavidrestrepoduran6007 3 года назад

Not surprisingly does it? I mean, many of these planters who descended from these founding colonists were of cavalier descent.

I feel for my guy Cromwell. A self made man, a stateman no more politically cunning than politicians of today. A learned scholar and a reformer. He did everything for the Man and got head chopped in return.

@sandradee8880 2 года назад

What great responsibility to have on your shoulders to keep up such a large estate and keep it in the family.

@nkenchington6575 Год назад

So Danny's line suffered a massive setback, which meant that he's born into a working class family, while Tim's line didn't, which means he was born into great privilege.

Thomas Cromwell was NOT related to Oliver Cromwell. This isn't made clear in this programme. Thomas Cromwell was Henry 8th's Prime Minister and a completely different family. I agree with you re: Oliver Cromwell, but Thomas was a much better guy.

@Tawadeb 4 года назад

Thomas was Henry 8 prime minister

@ds1868 4 года назад

@@Zebradeen Incorrect. Thomas Cromwell and Oliver Cromwell are related. Oliver Cromwell was directly descended from Thomas Cromwell's sister Katherine. When Katherine married the Cromwell surname was retained. Descent through the female line does not disqualify you from being related.

I want to know how did Dannys recent family end up in the poor house while the others continued to be rich? what happened? what was the turning point?

@NotfromDateline 4 года назад

Acorn Tree the turning point was the Gosnolds being on the losing side after the civil war. Due to fines and reparations the family had to sell everything they had

@dianaverano7878 Год назад

His ancestor, A rich Gosnold cavalier lost the war. And that new government needed money from the rich royalists who was on the losing side. The royalist was hurt financially. The next generation had to sell the lands and go down in social status as typical commoners.
