10. Punching that in will give you their parents birth/death dates and place of birth.

You will luck out if you have any sort of royalty in the lineage as a lot of it will be down for you. The UK stuff has been in the databases for awhile. A few years ago the French, Danish, German and many other EU nations popped up in the databases.

I found out I was related to the Uhtred of Bamburgh or Uchtred the Great on my dads side. A lot of Danish and Swiss popped up then.

My fathers side was naturally on the English side but what was interesting was my moms side came over from Normandy with the French army of William to fight the English.

My 26th Great Grandfather (Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria) ended up being beheaded by William 1 and became a cult figure when his body was exhumed and his head was reattached.

Some interesting stuff. My family essentially commoners after with with except of a few slave traders a little later on.

But find a royal or semi royal and a lot of the work is done..
