Do I Have Royal Blood in Me Quiz
Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. The tree jumps from an ordinary household to a royal or noble family with a similar surname. What historical bridge connects them?
The shared surname is currently the main bridge
They lived in roughly the same region and period, making contact possible but unconfirmed
A documented marriage, parent-child relationship, or equivalent record connects the two households
Property, service, occupation, associates, or local records create a specific plausible connection that still needs proof
2. When an online family tree supplies an ancestor on the alleged royal line, how is that information used?
I compare its claims with records and have independently verified the most important links
I add the person when several public trees repeat the same relationship
I treat it as a lead only and independently verify each relationship before relying on it
I check whether the dates and places look reasonable, even if I do not obtain the cited records
3. Two records disagree about a crucial ancestor's parentage. What best describes the current research?
The version that preserves the royal connection is currently used
Both versions are noted, and some additional sources have been checked, but the conflict remains
The more detailed or more frequently copied version is preferred
The records' origins, dates, informants, and other evidence have been compared, with the conclusion and uncertainty documented
4. How clearly does the family claim distinguish biological descent from inheriting a crown, title, estate, or coat of arms?
The claim assumes that descent from a titled family means the title or royal status passed to every descendant
It clearly separates ancestry from legal succession and identifies whether the route is direct, collateral, marital, or nonmarital
The distinction is recognized, but the exact type of connection is still unclear
The likely relationship type is identified, although the applicable inheritance or legitimacy context needs more research
5. A surname changes, an adoption appears, or a parent is recorded differently across documents. How well is that transition documented in your claimed line?
There is a plausible explanation, but little direct or indirect evidence ties the identities together
Several independent records or a well-supported genealogical conclusion connect the people across the change
The transition has not been investigated, so the tree simply continues through it
Some records support the connection, but an important identity question remains open
6. The alleged line moves between distant regions or countries. What supports those moves?
The moves are plausible for the period, but are inferred mainly from matching names or approximate dates
Records, relatives, occupations, property, or other evidence connect each migration to the same people
The tree changes location without evidence that the person actually moved
Some stages are documented, while one migration is supported only by indirect historical context
7. On the strongest route from you toward the alleged royal ancestor, what does the current family tree contain?
A few remembered names or a family story, without a generation-by-generation route
Records for most generations, with one or more unresolved links
A continuous named route with a cited record or reasoned evidence for each parent-child link
Several connected generations, but most relationships are not yet supported by records
8. Your proposed route depends on a child of a historical royal or close royal relative. How well does that child fit established history?
The child appears in credible historical work, but their identity or later family connection is not fully settled
The child is absent from the sources checked and is included mainly because the online tree requires the link
Contemporary records or reliable scholarship identify the child, and the dates, relationships, and later life align with the proposed route
A family account or older compiled genealogy names the child, but its underlying source is unknown
9. What does your DNA evidence currently contribute to the royal-ancestry claim?
An ethnicity estimate, trait report, or broad regional result is interpreted as royal ancestry
A cluster of matches supports the relevant family branch, but the exact shared ancestors remain uncertain
Multiple matches to independently documented relatives support specific links in the recent paper trail, without being treated as proof of the royal ancestor
Some distant matches share a surname or location associated with the claim
10. Across the claimed line, how well do births, marriages, deaths, and parental ages fit from one generation to the next?
The timeline has been checked generation by generation, and apparent discrepancies have documented explanations
There are impossible or seriously conflicting dates that have not been resolved
Most dates fit, but one notable discrepancy or unusually tight transition still needs resolution
The broad sequence seems possible, although exact dates or parental ages are often unknown
11. Your tree contains a person with the same name as someone in a royal or noble genealogy. How securely have you established that they are the same individual?
Several matching details—such as relatives, residence, age, and occupation—support the identification, but one issue remains
The identification is based mainly on the shared name
A combination of records distinguishes this person from same-name alternatives and connects them to both generations
The name and general area match, but other identifying details have not been checked
12. A coat of arms or inherited title appears in the family story. How is it treated as evidence?
Its original owner, jurisdiction, inheritance rules, and documented connection to the family have been investigated
It supports the story because it has long been associated with the surname
It is treated as proof that everyone with the surname descends from royalty
It is considered a useful clue, but not proof, while ownership and family connections are checked
13. If a relative asked you to show the evidence for every parent-child relationship in the claimed line, what could you provide?
A generation-by-generation file of citations, record images, or documented conclusions
An organized tree, but only a few links have specific sources
The family account and the names I have heard, rather than a sourced tree
Sources for most links, with clearly marked gaps that still need investigation
14. Could an independent researcher reconstruct your claimed route without relying on your explanations?
Not yet; the route mainly exists as family knowledge or an uncited chart
Yes; the relationships, sources, uncertainties, and reasoning are recorded clearly enough to review
They could identify the main people and places, but not verify most relationships
They could verify much of it, although a few citations or intermediate links are missing
15. Where did the idea of royal ancestry originally come from in your family?
A detailed family story naming a person or branch, but without surviving citations
A researched genealogy whose major claims cite identifiable historical records
A surname search, social-media post, commercial crest, or general ancestry suggestion
A written family history with some named sources, though key links have not all been verified
