Deatheater heritage?

Damn. I could have sworn I was a Gryffindor. Apparently I have 12 generations of Lestranges in my family. Of course, it is spelled Le Strange for the most part.

It starts with Guy Lestrange, son of Hoel and Hawise, Duke and Dutchess of Brittany, b. 1048 in Norfolk, England. It "ended" with Robert Strong of Berminister, Dorset, b. 1490. He changed the name to Strong.

I should note that I am 8th cousins with the late Princess Diana - who shares the same line. It's Robert Lestrange's Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandsons Rev. Joseph Strong, (my relative), and his brother Deacon Beajah Strong, (Diana's).

I'll leave it at that.

askdlhajsdhlf!! Though I'm not sure what that says about me, as I've got some Riddles in my family tree. The Diana connection is really neat - it's helpful when you've got famous relations, as the public scrutiny seems to help produce better records!

Funny enough ...

I just got a request for a large sum of cash from a member of your newly discovered family. Something about a 'jolly good time, some *friendly* young women & a cab ride to Paris'. Shall I pass on your number??? ::G::
;~)))

Hehehehe, lost touch with that time of the family I'm afraid. They'd have no clue who I was. ;)
