However that is the point where I couldn’t find any documented evidenced of here parents. Unless any of the people all over the internet currently clamming her parents are Michael Kornis and Barbara Bikli came out and state where this information is coming from, I can not take this claim seriously just as somebody’s guess work as it was copy/pasted by everyone from an unknown and most likely undocumented source.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04532027341673336678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-6939116784450468572010-07-12T16:26:30.424-07:002010-07-12T16:26:30.424-07:00Vlad IV Tepes Dracula, prince of Wallachia 1431-14...Vlad IV Tepes Dracula, prince of Wallachia 1431-1476<br />|<br />Vlad Dracula<br />|<br />Ladislas Dracula<br />|<br />Ladislas Dracula de Sentesti<br />|<br />Borbara Bilki Dracula de Sentesti<br />|<br />Vanesca Kornis<br />|<br />Gáspár Kendeffy<br />|<br />Gábor Kendeffy +1661/<br />|<br />Gáspár Kendeffy<br />|<br />Ágnes Kendeffy<br />|<br />Gergely Inczédy +1816<br />|<br />Ágnes Inczédy ca 1788-ca 1856<br />|<br />Claudine Rhédey, Gräfin von Hohenstein 1812-1841<br />|<br />Franz von Württemberg, Herzog von Teck 1837-1900<br />|<br />Mary Cambridge, Prinzessin von Teck 1867-1953<br />|<br />George VI Windsor, King of Great Britain 1895-1952<br />|<br />Elizabeth II Windsor, Queen of Great Britain 1926-<br />|<br />Charles Windsor, Prince of Wales 1948-<br />|<br />Henry Windsor, Prince of Great Britain 1984-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-19048779768722775402010-07-12T16:26:04.791-07:002010-07-12T16:26:04.791-07:00We have a link between Dracula and Harry :

I may not consider myself an expert on Hungarian and Transylvanian nobility and royalty, but I do know A LOT.<br /><br />No reigning English monarch is a descendant of the Basarab family, which produced Vlad Dracula. King George V of England's wife, Mary of Teck, is however a descendant of Hungarian aristocratic nobility through her paternal grandmother, Klaudina Zsuzsánna Rhédey de Kis-Rhéde. The current royal family are her descendants.<br /><br />Although the current reigning English monarchy does NOT descend from the Basarab family, there is a connection to Vlad Dracula through his wife. She was a noblewoman from the Szilágyi de Horogszeg family. Klaudina Rhédey (as well as myself) is also a descendant of the same Szilágyi de Horogszeg family. Klaudina and Vlad's wife would be 2nd cousins 15 times removed.<br /><br />There's a documented connection to Vlad's wife, but no English monarch shares (known) ancestry with Vlad Dracula.NickMGombashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782424065305955645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-34910580492059785322010-06-24T18:59:49.550-07:002010-06-24T18:59:49.550-07:00After reading your post, I saw this story on the e...After reading your post, I saw this story on the evening news on one of the Boston stations. It was a short news clip, no details, but they repeated Ancestry's claim that there was a relationship. I think the media should read the press release a bit more carefully. Even my non-genealogist husband guffawed at the family tree shown on TV for 3 seconds that clearly showed three very separate lineages!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-69395386283816898652010-06-24T13:44:20.172-07:002010-06-24T13:44:20.172-07:00Randy,

Therefore, Ancestry's own press release makes their claim look like sensationalist nonsense…<br /><br />I emailed Ancestry PR, and asked them to provide the genealogy to go with their claim. The drawing in their latest blog post does not come close to answering to that request.<br /><br />I tweeted doubts about their claim yesterday already, yet a day later, I still haven't heard from Ancestry.<br /><br />Seeing how much media has already stated that Pattinson is related to Dracula, I am sure glad to notice that you've joined me in asking critical questions about Ancestry's Pattinson - Dracula claim.<br /><br />- TamuraTamura Joneshttp://www.tamurajones.net/noreply@blogger.com
