MyHeritage, a genealogy platform, has compiled a list of 35 surnames that may indicate a link to the British Royal Family. The company is currently offering a 14-day free trial for users to explore their ancestry and build family trees using billions of historical records.
According to MyHeritage, certain surnames have traditionally been associated with nobility and could suggest a royal lineage. While having one of these names does not guarantee a connection to the monarchy, it serves as an intriguing starting point for further research. Users can delve into census data, birth, death, and marriage records, as well as use DNA testing services to uncover their ethnic background and identify potential relatives.
The list of 35 surnames includes names that have made their mark on history, though the specific names were not detailed in the source. MyHeritage has a rating of 4 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, with some users praising the platform for its accuracy and ease of use, while others have found it difficult to navigate.
For those interested in exploring their family tree, MyHeritage offers DNA tests and access to its platform. Alternative services include Ancestry, with DNA tests starting at £79, and 23andMe, with prices from £89.
