=======================================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

Can't Make it to the Coronation of My 12th Cousin Twice Removed on Saturday

 I did not get an invitation to the coronation of my 12th cousin twice removed on Saturday.  Maybe the Royal Mail or the U.S. Postal Service lost it amidst all of the hoopla.  

I will watch some of it on television - it all starts at 2 a.m. here in the Pacific Time Zone.  My guess is the actual coronation will be about 6 a.m. Pacific time, so I may get up early. There will probably be endless replays of it.

I wondered what my relationship to King Charles III would be, and WikiTree told me that his WikiTree profile is Windsor-21.  My WikiTree profile number is Seaver-15, so it is easy to use the Find > Relationships feature from my WikiTree home page to find the closest relationship:

Our most recent common ancestor is Cecilia (Luttrel) Rogers (1523-1566), who is Charles III's 11th great-grandmother and my 13th great-grandmother, according to WikiTree.  Who is she?  Her WikiTree profile is Luttrel-1.  I doubt that Charles III and I share any significant DNA segments.  

WikiTree found 194 other relationships between cousin Charles and me, but I don't recognize the names of the other common ancestors.

I do note that my line goes through four other generations of Seaver males - my father Frederick, my grandfather Frederick, my great-grandfather Frank, and my 2nd great-grandfather Isaac Seaver.  My father's siblings  would be swelling with pride in their ancestral connections to the King of England.  My grandchildren might be impressed - they are 12th cousins four times removed with King Charles III. 

Are any of my readers related to King Charles III?  Are any related to me?  Tell me in Comments.
