In 1994, I was Vice President of PLR, AAHGS's Chicago Chapter and the founder of the PLR NEWS JOURNAL. I wrote profusely about Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson's father's name is Peter Jefferson. Peter Jefferson's father's name was also Thomas Jefferson. Edward I, King of England, is a common ancestor of a large number of notable people, through his son Edward II and grandson Edward II using Charles, Prince of Wales, as the person to whom the others are related. Charles and Princess Diana's common ancestor is James 1, King of England (James VI, King of Scotland). The number of generations between Charles and King James is 13. The first generation after James is a brother-sister relationship followed by 11 generations to Diana and 12 generations to Charles. Thus, Diana was an 11th cousin once removed (11c1r) of her husband. Edward III is the common ancestor of Prince Charles, Princess, Diana, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Gerald R. Ford, and the descendents of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson when determining the relationship between the royal couple and the presidents. Prince Charles relates to the following people: 1.
