Question

I am related to Mary Queen of Scots, and i wanted to know if there was any famous people, actors or actreses that are related to Mary Queen of Scots. Are ther any good websites that could help me out with relatives?

Answer 1

i am also related to her!!!

I think she was the daughter of James VI of Scotland (who later became James I of England) another of his children married Thomas Pitt, a diamond trader from England who eventually bought his way into the English Parliment.

His heirs included William Pitt the Elder, William Pitt the Younger and Me. (both pitts were prime ministers of England during the late 1700s, i think)

i plan on being famous, so one day you can brag about being related to me.

Answer 2

1: You are an American
2: Of course you aren't related to Mary, Queen of Scots. She
had one child & put it this way you aren't descended from
Royalty. Mind you I have to say you are not the 1st citizen
of the US to make such fantastical claims about being a
far off relative of some Clan Chief or other

I'd have a word with whoever put this nonsense in your head.

Answer 3

im related to her to! we're all related! this is so cool!

Answer 4

Interesting, I am also a direct decedent of the queen Mary of Scotts bloodline.

Answer 5

I beleive I am related to her also, my grandfather did a family tree, I will have a look at it and see whose on it.
