How does this make sense?
I apologize for the very poor title. I don't know how to articulate myself all that well. Last year, I found out somehow I'm related to a German Princess. princess Louise of Hesse-Kessel (September 7th 1817-September 29th 1898). She married into the Danish royal family in the 1880's I believe. She had a lot of children who married into the Russian family, Serbian, Greek, and other royal houses. Not to mention, she's related to the Hohenzollern & Habsburg families as well. At least I think she is. My question is; how am I related to her? My family is mixed European but we've been in USA for four generations (including myself). My mother's side hails from Southern Italy/Ireland, a bit of German, Nordic, English Isle & such. I don't know anything about my father. I question this because we are a very poor family on welfare here in USA. We came from Siciliy. My mother has ginger hair. I have dirty blonde hair. Our skin is pail. I have three different eye colors. Blue, green & hazel. I list these to show how diverse I am. I guess I wonder, how I could be related to all of these families. I assume somehow a cousin in the family married a royal or someone with royal ties but I've never heard anything about this. We still have family in Siciliy and Italy proper but I don't know anything about them. I'm sorry if this isn't helpful at all. I just wished to ask in case anyone may know. Thank you for reading & have a good evening!
P.S; I was so excited to be related to all these royals in some way, even if it's distant. Perhaps not a surprise to anyone, I am also related to Charlemagne, too.
