I really want to meet relatives, but before I ran into resistance. I guess they figure I was looking to take away their "stuff!"
ReplyDeleteI was truly wanting to meet relatives to know.
ReplyDeleteI just want to have a professional do my genealogy, so no one could deny who I am.
ReplyDeleteI don't want family history to be lost in USA.
ReplyDeleteI love you even more, because you are sweet to me and show an interest. You are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey are blood related to Queen Victoria, who was related to most nobility and the current royal family. I say "they", when I could be saying "I", but it sounds too weird to be true, but my grandmother kept giving clues, but the biggest clue was that we were related to Kaiser Willhelm......who was Queen Victoria's nephew, or grandson; I have to look.
ReplyDeleteHow is the queen related to Kaiser Wilhelm?
ReplyDeleteWilhelm was the eldest son of Frederick III and his wife Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of the British Queen Victoria. He was a grandson of Emperor Wilhelm I through his father's side and a grandson of the English Queen Victoria through his mother's side. My great grandfather was a count and may have lost his title when he came to the
USA to be a physician and surgeon, but I do not know that, but one cannot remove blood relationship. If not, my mother would now be a countess.
I do not think the titles drop, but a person can use a title, or not as they please, even though the US does not recognize titles, but people use them anyway.
ReplyDeleteI would want you as my count. You are so regal; in looks, in dignity and in every other way as well. You take my breath away and I wish I could enjoy you soon.
ReplyDeleteIf I am lucky, I will have someone to help me. I want him to help you too. Would that be okay? I mean you would have to say, but you deserve so much.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are held captive you will not have your own desires at all. She needs to know it limits her life too. try to negotiate.with her to "let" you have a life. You must be tired of it! I miss you and love you,
