A truly astonishing find - if the DNA tests establish the connection to Richard III
The archaeologist most be exceedingly excited, as Indeed we would be :)

hmm.....Richard III of England is your 12th cousin 13 times removed!

1st cousin, 18 times removed. Should I get my brother to contribute yDNA for the very excited archeologist's match? :):).

We talked about this today with our guide who leads a Richard III tour. She had not heard :)

A Canadian family who can name the king as one of their direct ancestors is providing the DNA evidence that will conclusively prove whether the remains belong to the late monarch.

According to Geni, he's my 1st cousin, 16 times removed. Enrique Treat Gleason-Aguiluz, Esq.

On Monday 4th February, scientists will announce results of tests to determine whether a battle-scarred skeleton found in a sarcophagus under a parking lot in Leicester [near Bosworth Field] belongs to 15th-century King Richard III of England.

Researchers have compared DNA samples with other samples taken from a London cabinet-maker identified as a 17th great-grand-nephew of Richard III's elder sister.

Poor old Richard - he had everything to make a good king except the one thing no ruler can do without: luck. His was mostly bad, and that's almost always fatal.

A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been confirmed as that of English king Richard III.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-21063882

Its been confirmed that its Richard the 3rd! yay! Hes my 17th great Uncle on my moms side and my 1st cousin once removed on my fathers side :)

oops I ment 1st cousin 18 times removed on my fathers side

The researchers used DNA from Joy Ibsen. She doesn't appear in Geni though.
I just searched around. Bingo! http://plantagenetdna.webs.com/table1.htm

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/news/richard_iii_s_remains_found_in...

I compared the information in the link above to Geni.

Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster
Catherine de Roet
Duchess of Lancaster
1348-1403
Ofir Friedman you are the MP. I wanted to mention that there is a difference in birth year and first name that you may want to look into.

Philippa de Roet - listed as the father of Joan Beaufort - Geni has a different father.

Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland
Countess of Westmorland
1370-1440
Ofir Friedman - birth year on profile is circa 1379. Difference with the table

Anne Leger, Duchess of Exeter

Anne Manners
Heather (Fachet) Bond - Birth Year doesn't match

Katherine Constable
Private User - Birth year doesn't match, but link has circa

The line in Geni ends there. This page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Constable_(died_1558)
has a ton of information missing on Geni. I'll add some of the information later, unless someone else beats me to it (which would be fine)

Richard III Plantagenet, King of England is my 9th cousin 17 times removed.

Private User I found this one and merged it into the line
Katherine Constable

I wonder if they tested his yDNA. If so, we can expect a surge of claims to Plantagenet ancestry. Comments on this article suggest that four Somerset males, descendants through an illegitimate line, might be tested. If so, that's bigger news for the genealogical community than Richard III himself.

http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/LIVE-UPDATES-Richard-III-DNA-...

I added the line down to Michael Ibsen. Hopefully, the cache pics them up quickly so anyone searching Geni for the line can find it.

I am already connect to the Plantagenet line via both legitimate and illegimate lines. So I don't need Richard . But it's interesting anyway.

Doing some more looking. They know that his mtDNA is Haplogroup J. They haven't yet been able to extract his yDNA, nor do they know yet whether it will be possible.

I always liked Richard, and thought he got a raw deal from the historians and especially from Shakespeare. :-P (Let's face it, Will of Avon didn't give a toot for "historical accuracy" - all he cared about was the entertainment value, and he usually delivered on that in spades.)

This opinion was firmly cemented by Josephine Tey's "The Daughter of Time" - which illustrates not only the fun, but also some of the possible pitfalls, of historical research. It's fiction, but a first-rate read anyhow.

I belonged to the Richard III society for many years. For anyone who is interested in that period, their journal is an amazing resource for details about the period. So much detail about the people and their lives!

Justin: figures it would be Haplogroup J. That one really gets around.

Seems Richard III is my 5th cousin 15 times removed, at the present state of my family tree. I guess I'm cool with that. :-)

(PS: yes, I'm Haplogroup J also - don't know if it's the same flavor. Probably not. :-)
