Maybe this is erroneous. But I once read somewhere that a well-known historian had calculated that anyone with even a tiny bit of European ancestry (this would include almost all of the black and white population of the USA) has virtually a zero chance of NOT being a descendant of CHARLEMAGNE, ca. 742-814 AD. Now that I feel fairly secure in my royal lineage via Charlemagne dating back to the last millennium, I want to focus on the much interesting business of identifying a few more of my mostly peasant ancestors of what is now Union Co., NJ.
