Are You Descended from Royalty?

Brooke Shields journey led her to Italy and France where she found a wealthy banker and a cousin of a King in her lineage! What a feeling it must be to descended from a royal family??

The further you trace your ancestors back, the closer you may find yourself related to royalty. Most Americans can trace branches of their history to Europe. Many royal families married into other royal families from different countries. If you find one royal name, you'll probably find others!

Brooke was also able to visit local sites in New Jersey where past family members lived, and died. She was able to find a newspaper article about her great uncles death and birth certificates of her grandmother and all of her siblings. Brooke was able to make connections of past events in her grandmother's life to better understand the decisions she made later in her life.
