There are some serious "red flags" here, including, for example, a supposed 80+ year difference between two "consecutive" generations. Although American immigrants with royal ancestry do exist (including some Quakers), the vast majority of such claimed royal or early medieval ancestries are false. (The best I can do for medieval ancestry of my own Quaker ancestors is the middle of the 1400's). Stewart Baldwin
