Hello Paul; Thanks for the message, I believe there is some merit in the comment. I have previously heard it said that most people born in England can trace back to William the Conqueror (also a descendant of Charlemagne). Let the case rest!!

I read, amongst the many variations, https://www.theguardian.com/science/commentisfree/2015/may/24/business-genet ic-ancestry-charlemagne-adam-rutherford One similar article states that within a few hundred years' time everyone in the world will have Charlemagne's DNA. The Society of Genealogists and other archives have pedigrees going back to Adam and Eve. Cheers Paul
