This is Volume 5 of 11: Indirect Relations part 2 Many famous names are listed here - Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, Queen Victoria, King Gustav Vasa of Sweden, Oliver Cromwell, William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer, Virginia Woolf, and many more - but of course all family trees must be taken with a pinch of salt. Here are three reasons for being cautious: (1) People have throughout history had a penchant for laying claim to more exotic parentage and ancestry than they are entitled to. Old charts are not necessarily to be trusted; nor are new ones. (2) Public records can contain errors and/or be falsified. (3) We can none of us be absolutely certain who our biological father is. One thing we can be sure of is that we are all cousins. For reasons of space, no sources are included here. Readers are welcome to find out more by viewing the hinton-strandberg tree at ancestry.co.uk.
