[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 72099895, member: 385144"] While possible, such things should be taken with a pinch of salt. Genealogists like to connect their lines with famous figures in the dim mists of the past. Sometimes its true, but often its smoke, mirrors or wishful thinking. I am descended from Lisjbeth Arabus, a Malagasy princess that was enslaved by the Dutch. Her family claimed descent, via Arab traders, with the Prophet Mohammed. I find this doubtful. Likewise, my Van Der Merwe forebears have a completely spurious tradition claiming descent from Charlemagne, that they defend to the hilt. There are far more paupers than princes, so descent from the former is far more likely then the latter, though not impossible. [/QUOTE]
