Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to restrict my time on this project. I got sucked into history last night. I made it back to 1070 when a younger son of one of the Kings of Denmark went to England with William the Conqueror to fight in the battle of Hastings. I even found where the good Sir Knight Estmond married a lady named Godiva. Which made me want chocolate in the middle of the night. :)
I'm working to confirm it but yeah, it's looking like that Bach. Alas, I'm lacking in musical ability although my son does play the drums. Bach would not be impressed with us. :D I'm having way too much fun with this project.
Your icon reminds me I need to make another H/Hr post soon. :)
Look at all your titles! My grandfather has gone back to the 1600s, I think, and I don't remember us having any titles. Well, except mine, of course ;)
I love that you have a title. That's just too cool. :)
I've beein e-mailing my cousins each day this week with a new 'relative of the day.' Today it's Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine. She was first married to Louis VII, King of France and then later to Henry II, King of England. Way to go, Eleanor! She'd be aghast at the lowered standards women in the family have these days. :D

So you traced back a millenia. You must be relatives with, uhm.., a few thousand people then? A huge Bach clan maybe?
