Hello to all of Edward's kin
They say that over a million or even 10 million are direct descendants of him.
Can you guys try and find out if I am related to Edward and all the surnames down below are my ancestors' ones so do I have any connections?

Ringing any bells?

definetely maybe is the answer. You need a name from the 16th century, or whenever surnames became a thing, and see if their is any connection back from there. other replies may be more useful. You might find links if you enter what you know in a tree and use the matches;, carefully!

Finn,
The first thing you have to do is get your profile connected to the Main Geni tree. Then Geni can show the most direct connection. You do that by adding your parents, their parents, their parents, etc, until you find a duplicate of them already in the tree, and then merge.

If you get that far to find a duplicate, and you don't know how to merge, just ask. It typically takes about 3 to 5 generations. If you don't have that data, send me a message and I can figure out another way that might work.

Most people here are only going by what Geni says when it goes back past the 1600s immigration to US.
Good luck.

Finn,
Also, Geni most likely doesn't have all the possible connections, but if there is one found, then it has been researched by someone at some point. Until you get your ancestors into Geni and connected to the main tree, it is difficult... because it isn't just last names, it is specific people connected by a blood line at specific times and places.

Finn, I am not a Pro but my advice would be to start adding your forefathers as you know them - your parents, where born, dates of birth and country of origin. Then, their parents, etc., The more you build from your own profile, the more likely you are to "meet" cousins on Geni and from there, share notes and build your knowledge of your forefathers. This is what I did. I am in Longshanks lineage (direct). He is one of my GGF's and the late Queen Elizabeth II was my 13th cousin 3x removed, in this lineage.
I encourage you to start your Geni data base and the doors will open for you. Through Geni, I have met Italian, Swedish and English cousins. You have to start somewhere and it will take time, plus patience. Be encouraged, it not an overnighter.
Regards,
Coralie

Hi Finn, I nice etiquette in Geni, is to let your responding posters know how you are going.
I find that Geni "family and friends" are amazing and they love to know progress. They are such amazing assisters in finding folk who no longer have a voice. We, in turn, give our ancestors known and unknown a voice and become their willing quill.

Edward I "Longshanks", King of England is my 24th great grandfather.

Yes I M My 23rd great Grandfather

Hello. Would you please apply the link to Edward I Longshanks. I have completed my genealogy on my own, seen it through Wikitree, and many other places, and I have Edward III as my 18th Great Grandfather.

The surname's Robertson, is associated to King James I, Stewart, Wood, is associated to the Wallaces, as in William Wallace, Bates, is familiar though I am not certain, I think it is more recent, as is Lee.

The thing about these royal creatures is there is only one specific lead up to them, which is well documented, and then one flow through them, which is now becoming more clear to everyone, is as we move more into the 18th century that the 'plot' as it were thickens, as more in computer webpage lingo, attributes are added as the number of people marry and give birth to living descendants, but that to is very stationary at this point, or static.

Fun isn't it!! :)

Edward I "Longshanks", King of England

Hi again. This is the actual 'shortest blood' length link for Edward I, to my father.

Both my parents descend from King Edward III, Edward III, king of England but when I do a search for my mother, Geni will not show this. I struggle with this and have a question out there waiting with regard to that. How in the world can both of my parents be descended from all of King Henry II, 'Curtmantle's' children? Well as the tale goes, it is because of the 'births through illegitimacy'.

Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Leicester and Lancaster

This is Edmund Crouchback's profile. Currently, I am claiming from the Mountbatten's to the Lord's Press Office similar to the Lord Lyon of Scotland, the right to the Dukedom that which Elizabeth II Mountbatten was holding erroneously. The Lord's press office is struggling with giving this over to me, refraining from speaking to me.

But as you can see at my website link, https://www.plumtreememoryfamily.com/edmund-crouchback-plantagenet that Edmund only had several children, then there were only certain births through him.

That is why it is exciting, yet difficult to discern. King Charles I, Stewart supposedly, per records did not have any legitimate children only illegitimate children and a lot of them.

Jodi Rae née Trogstad Brennan, 'Queen Regent' I posted a link to your questions at the Medieval Tree project. I tagged you, so you should get a link to that. You basically need to know if which generation/family group do you need to connect your line to this profile.. and what is needed for support. Good luck.

Edward I "Longshanks", King of England is my 21st great grandfather. i saw none of the surnames you had listed. Most of the descendants' surnames in my line were from England, etc.

No blood relationship was found.
No in-law relationship was found. ;)

He's my 21st great grandfather, but once you get that far back, everyone has thousands of living ancestors, so it's not all that unusual

Private User

We all have 2 Parents, 4 Grandparents, 8 Great Grandparents, and the number doubles for each generation. The number for 21st GGPs is 8,388,608 or 4,194,304 GGFs or GGMs.

21st ggf

Good luck Finn. Once you start adding family members and start finding links it will probably snowball. Have fun.

The Profile "Finn Shawyer" has "No path found to Finn Shawyer" on Geni, so no one here can make any confirmations.

Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Leicester and Lancaster is my 18th great grandfather.

Edward III, king of England is my 16th great grandfather.

" Edward I Longshanks" King of England is my 1st cousin 23 Times removed

Edmund Crouchback and Edward I, are both my 23rd great grandfathers.

King Edward I is my 23rd. great Grandfather

Suggestion for Finn. Your profile is blank so that will hinder your search. You need to update your profile and start adding your immediate family then extended family if possible. The more information you add, the better chance you have of finding some links to ancestors etc. Have fun!
