Quote:Sorry to interrupt your intriguing banter, but didn't some society years ago trace George W. Bush's ancestry back to Mark Antony? Or at least to the family?
I have tried a few times to see if I could trace any of the Julii past the first century, but it is just too confusing (for me anyways)
Well here are all his known descendants who were famous or people of note. There were many more who's lines we have no knowledge of such as his first children with Fadia. That runt Octavian never stood a chance! :-) Can you tell I'm an Antony fan?
If George W. can trace it back to one of these lines good for him....but I wouldn't put too much stock in it. My ancestors go back several hundred years to the same little town in Italy, far enough that there are no church records anymore. Maybe next time I'm there I'll pay a visit to the church and take some notes.
