Good evening ladies and gentlemen, as we know this past year has been a very tiring, extra trying year for most everyone throughout the world. At times, one may feel that the event in their lives has been surreal with the current virus and the many changes we have had to make to ways of living our lives. As one of my favorite poets famously penned, " Is all that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream", Edgar Allan Poe. This will bring me to the point of this post...As many of you know, I have asked the family genealogist to complete an ancestry line for my beloved and most dearest husband, Sterling, as a Yule present. Over this past weekend, RGW reached out to me to give me news that blew my mind away...he was blown away as well...he informed me that the genealogist has found some astonshing news. I was intent to listen to what RGW had to share. Queen Bella he says...I was confused ( Queen Bella ?)...he came to share with me that Sterling's 15th great grandmother was none other then Elizabeth Lumley, Queen of France !!!! 1484 - 1518. 

Queen Elizabeth Lumley Yes ! the lineage was double checked and tripled checked to ensure the information was correct... and was 100 % confirmed. But, the most astonishing of the news was yet to come and it came a bit later that evening...RGW, contacted me again, "You will never believe this !", he was again speechless, Elizabeth Lumley was the daughter of King Edward IV, War of Roses, with his mistress, (Lady Elizabeth Lucy) and as you all remember, the QOS is directly linked to King Edward IV, his 17th Great Granddaughter. Her 17th great grandmother was his wife, Queen Elizabeth Woodville (Queen Consort). So, that connects a DIRECT bloodline between the QOS and Sterling !!! Blew all of us away , we never, ever expected this and it has been such a blessing to know that Sterling and QOS are related by a direct bloodline. The Gods have blessed us once again and we are truly grateful. Sterling will have had a conversation with the QOS today, and I am sure it was a very emotional one. When I talked with my sister this evening , we were at a loss for words, and just flabergasted by the this wonderful news. Thunder and QOS have a direct bloodline. And, also come to find out that King Edward IV knighted several of Thunder's ancestors as well as mine. With the overwhelming news still sinking in, I bid everyone well. Special thanks for the love, strength and support of our family and a very special thanks to the family genealogist, John, for all his hard work and dedication. The family's crest for King Edward IV, that Thunder and the QOS can now legally use.
