Yes I'm a descendant of Queen Mary of Scots (I think she ruled Scotland in the 1500s). I can't really trace my family tree any farther back than her although I've tried to. I need help with it. I'd like to know who the Queen's ancestors were but I have no clue. People keep telling me that she was a famous monarch but despite all they've heard about her I still cannot find out who her ancestors were.
One thing I'd like to know is why my family does not rule Scotland today (and we don't), being that our ancestors were royal and did at one time in history (I think it was the 1500s) rule that country. The royal line must have fallen or changed somewhere in history that I don't know about that has put us out of power and has alienated us from the throne. Because someone else has power over Scotland today, it's not my family anymore. It's almost like we've become commoners or something like that. I cringe at the thought of it.
