	Sorry guys... not used to this new layout... Couldn't find the reply button...lol :) Have to say...i dont' like this new look...it's a real pain...continually crashies and messes up my tree updates..keeps changing places on tree without asking..so i end up putting in info..in wrong place..very annoying as i then have to sort it all out again...AAAHHHH!!!!. Anyway....nice to hear from you all...has been awhile. I have been very busy with my tree of late.....it is growing so fast..It's hard to keep up.! Have only been build since June last year?..so about 8 months. I started out knowing pretty much nothing about my family...didn't even know where my own parents were born!!...lol. Never meet my grandparents...and have had no real contact with family since 1986...when my father died. So it wasn't going to be easy. But I got lucky....I found a couple of "ready made" trees online containing some of my family line.....which was a great help. But it has been hard going at times...... The connection to the Knight I have found just today.....with a little searching on the net. The dates are a little iffy....but I think it's just a typing mistake..as it all falls into place with what I already had....it all follows right down the line.... I have been amazed at what I have found since I started...could never of dreamed of such. There maybe a link to the Royal family of today...via Queen Victoria's nephew, Duke of Cambridge..Prince of England....part of the Saxe- Coburgs..of Germany and the Romanov's of Russia. I have not been able yet to prove that as yet...but ..there is a chance. Plus a link to Vincent Van Gogh..the famous painter..... Its been crazy!!....lol. :) Hope everyone else has as much luck as me... I now have 4497 folks in my tree...not bad as I started out knowing nothing much at all..lol..

	Well done Sir Boogie, bowing to his lordship, I've only got back as far as the 1500s and I'm really chuffed with that, so to get back to 1034, wow.
