    As we search our ancestry we find things that we never expected. Some of us don't know who our great grandparents were and they could have inspired the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, or Codified/Common Law practices. Josh has a story that quite a few people share.

      I do genealogical and historical research. Everyone has these types of remarkable ancestors - we have a lot of ancestors! And their lives in the flow of history are not only astonishing to learn about, they inform our own being.

      It's new to me. But I have spent the past year searching through my DNA results to connect the dots. I never thought much about England but last year I found out that ten percent of my DNA comes from England/Wales and the same with Ireland those were places that I never thought about.

      Given that this play came first, it is very possible Shakespeare took some inspiration from it. She said there were some commonalities beteween them.
      That's a common trend among writers- look at something already popular and think you can do it better.

      She qualifies her statement for that exact reason. However, as an expert who examined the play and its context, there is significant enough evidence to support this qualified inference. Do you have any learned analysis in opposition?

    12th times ancestor; you have 2 grandparents, 4 great grandparents, 8 greatgreatgrandparents, next 16, next 32,64,128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8112 if I counted corrected. So he has 8112 (12 times) great grandfather and this was one of those. We all have criminals and some saintly people among our ancestors.
