'Are you sure you mean't "Hobby" not "Hobbit"?
'Cause your not exactly showing any enthusiasm for any of the suggestions?
If you had a Hobbit you could go fishing together & drink ale........

Dear Kim

My advice is to word it as follows:

My Dearest Elizabeth.

Please find enclosed irrefutable proof of my claim to the throne of England. You can keep Scotland and Wales, not interested in them.

As all my family are English for the past 25 generations, that alone should make me a better contender than any of your family, but whatever.

I would be obliged if you would take those corgis wiv ya as my pit bull , Tyson, has tourettes and I fear the worst.

Yours,

Kim

PS End of the month mind, or the boys will be round.

I would try that and see what happens. We will visit you in Rampton in due course.

Hi Eldrick,

My family are my problem. They are hard to find on census records, lie on marriage certificates, and have such common names and occupations that google is impossible.

I'm thinking that I should ask someone to open their tree to me and then hijack their family in place of my own.

What do you think?

Yours sincerely,

Descendant of too many Joneses, Davies and Thomases.

Hi Squiggle

If I was you I would just write names down out of a telephone directory, whatever.

Because at the end of the day, no one but you is interested and lets face it, you're not going to be related to the king of Wales are you, and unless you're 3/4 German, there's no chance of a pop at the throne of England either.

So hope thats sorted that one for you !

Thanks Eldrick....will get working on that presently.

Am actually quite interested in the position of Queen of Wales. I wonder if Elizabeth would be content to just keep Scotland?

Dear Eldrick,
I was wondering if you could help me with a problem.Half my Family Tree has died out so I've lost one line completely-would it be possible to adopt some relatives postumously?I don't want to be stuck with a wonky tree.
Kind Regards,
Carla

Eldrick Report 24 May 2008 08:46

Dear Carla

I think that acceptance is the best solution - deal with it, live with it, move on.

Or you could make it up like everyone else.

Your call.

Best wishes
