The point if this thread was to discus lineage, plain and simple. Whose lineage could be traced furthest back.
If you are only interested in sperm contribution I am sure there are other threads. If not start one. Contrary to what some posters think, they don't have to take over every thread. If you aren't interested in lineage (which included both sides) choose another thread.
The popularity of sites like ancestry.com tells thet people are indeed interested in lineage, knowing where one comes from. And that extends to royals.
You only need to look up to the topic of the thread: "Oldest Royal and Noble families". Just these five words which form the very topic of this thread are twisted into: "Trace the lineage as far as possible".
Very interesting indeed but the five words in bold typo on top of this thread form another starter. Before I am again mauled on Trumpian way (I should leave etc.), I have an interesting question. How old is the noble family Armstrong-Jones, the branch of the Earls of Snowdon and Viscounts Linley?
What do you do now? Trace all male and female descendants of Antony Armstrong-Jones? Or state that the noble family Armstrong-Jones started with the elevation of the first Earl into the peerage?
