John Adams e a aristocracia natural

"Por nobres, não me refiro particularmente à nobreza hereditária, ou qualquer modificação particular, mas à aristocracia natural e real entre os homens. A existência desta você não vai negar. Você e eu vimos quatro famílias nobres levantarem-se em Boston -- os Crafts, os Gore, os Dawes e os Austin. Estes são realmente como uma nobreza em nossa cidade, como os Howard, os Somerset, os Bertie, etc. ...na Inglaterra.

Cegos, censuras indistintas contra a parte aristocrática da humanidade -- uma divisão que a natureza fez e não podemos abolir --, não são nem piedosas nem benevolentes. Eles são tão perniciosas quanto falsas. Eles servem apenas para fomentar o preconceito, ciúme, inveja, animosidade e malevolência. Eles não servem a nada, a não ser à sofistíca, à fraude, e o espírito da discórdia" (John Adams).

The Royal We

The mathematical study of genealogy indicates that everyone in the world is descended from Nefertiti and Confucius, and everyone of European ancestry is descended from Muhammad and Charlemagne

Everyone is Descended From Charlemagne

Jack Lee

As I was researching my Lee ancestral line back into the middle ages, I was excited to find that I am apparently a direct descendant of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. As I dug deeper, I found at least three separate lines of descent from him to me, and I saw more and more genealogical sites on the Web that claimed similar descent.

Are All Europeans Descendants of Charlemagne?

How Many Ancestors Do We Have?

While the idea of the Diamond Theory of Ancestors is not new, I've taken notes from different sources, compiled my own data, and written up what I hope is an interesting and understandable explanation

Ancestry and Mathematics

People who have traced their genealogy extensively often reach three conclusions that the rest of us find improbable. First, they conclude that they are descended from some famous person of the distant past. For persons of European descent, a very common example is Charlemagne, founder of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD. Secondly, they conclude that they are related to some famous modern people (for example, a recent American president or two). Thirdly, they conclude that they are their own cousins, which is to say that some pair of their ancestors (Grandma and Grandpa Jones, for example) were cousins. This sounds improbable to most of us, but a look at the math of ancestry says that such relationships aren't improbable, and that in fact they're almost inevitable.

Some Thoughts on Ancestry and Nobility

Jim Elvidge

Do you ever wonder if you have noble ancestry? Most probably, you do. Here's why:

You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, and so on. For every generation that you go back, you double the number of ancestors that you have (there are exceptions to this rule, but that comes later). Now, most genealogists assume that a generation is about 30 years; that is, on the average, your parents were born 30 years before you. Actually, generations are becoming longer these days, compared to, say, 200 years ago, when people would often marry in their teens and have families at a young age. But for our purposes, let's assume an average of 33 years for convenience. That way, we can assume exactly 3 generations per century. So, if you were born in 2000, then you had 8 ancestors born around 1900. Each century you go back in time, you multiply your number of ancestors by 8. That means, that you had 64 in 1800, 512 in 1700, and so on. If you work your way back to the year 1200, you had over 16 million ancestors! This could be called the exponential or geometric growth of ancestors.

VIENA — Otto Von Habsburg, falecido nesta segunda-feira aos 98 anos, renunciou ao seu título como sucessor de Carlos I, último e efêmero imperador da Áustria-Hungria, para ser um europeísta, defensor dos países do Leste Europeu, sob o comunismo e também quando estes entraram na União Europeia.
