- This is an interesting question. In my study of geneaology, I have found
- that everyone of European descent seems to be able to claim descent from
- a minor peer or at least a member of the gentry. This does not necessarily
- mean that these people are nobles, but it does say something about the
- kind of people who are generally attracted to heraldry and geneaology.
