Who are you descended from? One of my ancestors was King Edward III, and another was Robert II Stewart of Scotland. And I'm an American. :)

Yes. Maharana Pratap in Rajasthan, India. He was from the 1500s in India.

yes I'm a descendant of Founding Father John Adams on my mothers side, but not Quincey. I know he and his wife are descended from a couple of people off the mayflower who had royal relatives and ancestors that can be traced from the British Isles. I've never taken any real time to learn which ones though. I know the Lancasters, FitzAlans and a Cardinal Henry Beaufort are all on there somewhere, plus King John "Lackland" (the prince john from the robin hood stories). I also may be related to spanish royalty on my fathers side through a landbaron, no documentation though telling if we are actually related to the family or just one of his peons. Got a great#? grandmother also who was a Pueblo Native American who supposedly had connections to a chief. A lot of documentation for the New Mexico area was lost in a church fire little over hundred years ago. The music by my fathers family is well know though that even the smithsonian institute have taken interest.

I believe I may be of a Hungarian (That is the Austro-Hungarian empire that controlled modern day Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic) royal bloodline. Also, due to the fact that almost every royal bloodline in Europe at some point clashes together (i.e. Alexandria of Russia, married to Tzar Nicoline, was the granddaughter of queen Victoria of England), I also believe I might have relation to parts of the Russian royal bloodline among many others as well.

I've heard tell that Charlemagne(742-814)Frankish king and Emperor of the West (800-814) is an ancestor of mine. I haven't seen the genealogical research but It's from a fairly reliable source who is in possession of said research.
My Dad used to claim to be the descendant of an Indian Princess. Highly dubious claim with his blue eyes and fair skin.

I've been working on my Genealogy for about 8 years and recently discovered that Henry the 3rd was my 28th great grandfather.
Completely found it by "accident"... just saw a very weird last name and decided to follow up. Bad me... not paying attention in history class... Plantagenet should have told me all I needed to know.
But yes. With that link, we're also related to Robert the Bruce and many kings of Scotland as well.
I only wish I could find as much on my mother's side.
Looks like we're very distantly related! If you want to share trees, I'm all for it.

Not sure about the royal part, but I do have ancestors that came over on the Mayflower and one ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence.

John Blood who forced the King of England to sign the Maria Dasing. and then he and Agnes was sent to America on The II Voyage of the Mayflower. Their name was changed to Trueblood.
On the other side the Eccles clan goes back to England in the dooms day book.

Yes I have royal blood from my ancestors, however, it's not British Royal blood ... my family tree comes from an almost extinct group of people, and so it's easy to trace ... My natural mother used to kid and say that my lineage made me a Princess ... but I never believed her ... she's a little "Koo-Koo"

Not really. I am related somehow or other to Betsy Patterson, an American, who was the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother.) Napoleon made Jerome divorce her and return to France. She died brokenhearted and is said never to have remarried.
