You can officially hold your head a little higher at the grocery store. But here is the mind-blowing genealogical plot twist: due to a mathematical reality called pedigree collapse, just about anyone with a drop of European blood shares that exact same DNA.

He was an intense, battle-hardened knight who styled himself as the "Marshal of the Army of God and Holy Church." During the chaos of 1215, his life was not lived in the quiet luxury of a castle, but rather in a state of high-alert, militarized tension.

They weren’t looking to overthrow the monarchy; they were looking to chain it to the rule of law. King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta, and to ensure he kept his word, a committee of 25 barons—known as the Sureties—was elected to enforce it.

If you had told me years ago that I would be launching a website centered around my family tree, I probably would have laughed. Genealogy can sometimes feel like an insular hobby, or worse, a way for people to build a fence around themselves to say, "Look who my ancestors were."  want to be completely clear from day one: That is not what this space is about.
