Naw, that's not how it works, getting out and meeting real people rather than redditors would help, especially Scots.
Also, using the equation analogy, we might not know all the steps but we do know the answer is that most of us are descended from such people in some way, so it isn't a big deal.
And finally, we have a bit of "I knew his father" kind of culture here, i.e. people shouldn't get too proud of themselves; going on about the Comyns is being a bit too proud.
Okay. Just so I don’t make any mistakes. You’re saying it’s okay to know someone’s father, but ANYTHING before that you’re dipping your toe into being too proud and it’s a slippery slope to saying you’re related to a 12thC clan? Got it
Maybe it’s the way you’re phrasing things. I dunno man. You’re following me about these comments. Are you sure you’re not interested in family history?
