I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here. This individual was born 1656 which is definitely going back pretty far. The key to getting this far back in your family tree is finding one or more relatives that are related to royalty, no matter how distantly. If you are of European descent this isn't as difficult as it might sound. Chances are there is royalty in your genealogy somewhere, it's just a matter of tracing your ancestors far enough back to make that link. If you can get that link then it often becomes easier to go much farther back. This individual is an example of that though they seem pretty obscure which can often be the case. There won't necessarily be much info available if you are descended from the third daughter of the second wife of some minor European noble (or even a major one) but there's still a good chance the genealogy will be there somewhere.
Gramps calculates this person to be my eighth great grandaunt.

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).
