Descendant from the first king of Denmark
I've spend the last month with hundreds of Google sites open trying to expand my family tree. I was so lucky to find that someone already did a lot. So I went looking for more. I found out I was the ancestor of some Nobel people that I could trace to a famous pirate named Skipper Clement (Captain Clement) from who I could directly trace a line through 23 generations back to the first king of Denmark Gorm den Gamle (Gorm the old one) now in Denmark it's commonly perceived that everyone is an ancestor of him which is mostly true. But the amazing thing is that I can directly trace my ancestry through 37 full generations. I started to do this as a hobby to surprise my granddad but I never expected to discover anything like this...
(Bonus fun fact, Gorm the old one's great great grandfather was the inspiration for the wizard Gandalf from the lord of the ring. With whom he shares his name Gandalf Alfgeirsson)
