I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here. This individual was born circa 1567 which is definitely going pretty far back. Typically, assuming you are dealing with accurate data, if you get back this far you probably have some distant relation to royalty. The notes below are for this individual's father.
You'll also find with relatives this far back that you are probably related in multiple ways. The closest relationship I have to this individual (according to Gramps) is seventh cousin thirteen times removed though there are other cousin relationships.

Research comes from a variety of online sources, original documents and personal knowledge. Generally, if the source was from another researcher online, their original sources are used. More information and details about the sources can sometimes be found by clicking on the associated link at the bottom in the "Source References" section.
The information below is an extract from a report I generated via the Gramps genealogy software from a family tree I originally created with GenoPro and then modified to look reasonable here (as much as I could anyway).
