One of my more distant relatives was a US Naval Lieutenant executed by the Nazis as an OSS Spy in the last days of WW2! |

My great-great aunt Amelia Edwards' husband Harold Dilke claimed that his father was a member of the aristocracy - either a duke or an earl, my grandparents only met him once and couldn't remember which it was. It turns out that Harold was the illegitimate son of Rosamond Dilke, who was involved in a scandalous Victorian divorce case in which she was accused of being the mistress of Joseph Heneage, the 7th Earl of Aylesford. Rosamond's husband killed himself in 1877 and Harold was born in Paris four years later. Harold and Amelia's wedding certificate gives his middle name as 'Henadge' so there may be some truth in his claim after all! Rosamond was the daughter of a baronet, Sir Alexander Dixie of Market Bosworth. |

It is a great pity that One World Tree has not been deleted entirely. I do object to my parents being the in-laws of a man b in 1723. My grandparents and gt grandparents are also in the tree. |

I think they abandoned developing One World Tree a few years ago. It is still accessible though. |

According to Ancestrys One World Tree I am related to Calvin Coolidge's wife and Laura Ingalls Wilder who wrote Little House on the Prairie...I'm taking it with a pinch of salt :-D although I use to love the program always needed the tissues |

According to Ancestry's One World Tree, I am related to three American Presidents - Teddy Rosevelt, Calvin Coolidge and Richard Nixon, as well as Lucille Ball, Helen Keller and Miles Standish. However on closer examination of the relationships someone managed to father a son who lived 200 years earlier so maybe I'm not related to those people. :-D |
