Hi, Fr. Serge,

While I agree with you and with Mr. Lewis as well, you must admit that this title is quite impressive:

Imperial Majesty Guillermo the Expensive of Westley Waterless


Shalom,
Memo

Being a Gael, I am unavoidably descended from
lots of royalty, if perhaps of a rather local kind and rather
remotely. This, of course, involves descent from pagan gods
of one sort or another, most of them rather blood-thirsty types.
Being moreover Gallgael (a Scot of mixed Gaelic and Norse blood) I have a goodly number of especially violent characters in my (theoretical) ancestry. In deference to these worthies, I would
have to choose a title like Ed Skullcleaver or Mac The Disembowler, which, on the whole, I prefer not to.

Since some of you have mentioned that you actually have royal blood in you I thought I'd join in. My mother's maiden name was Roche. The Roche's were Normans who came to Ireland in 1066 or so. They were the Lords of Fermoy which is about a half hour from Cork City.

I've also heard that Brian Boru has about 6 million descendants.

Father Serge can tell us what the population of the Republic of Ireland is and if it is also 6,000,000.

never knew that those micks were so fecund.I'll bet that I'm descended from Brian Boru (that would make me related to the Kennedys. arrgh! bad enough that that on my mother's side that John Lindsay was a cousin, very annoying.)
Much Love,
Jonn

Genghis Khan (Pronounced in Mongolian as Ching-giss Khann) as over 96,000,000 descendants. Now there's a prolific barbarian. wink

I discovered my birthmother is Polish about 16 years ago. Finally, after much searching I now know that my birthfather is Welsh! My true name is:

Countess-Palatine Sophia the Nimble of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
