Courteney Cox; who do you think you are?


Courteney Cox is an actress that is most famous for playing Monica on the TV show “Friends”. She was the subject of the latest “Who do you think you are?” Show which traced her ancestry back to William the Conqueror who defeated the English in 1066. One thing it showed is that once your pedigree chart gets some royal blood on it then there are already more charts waiting for you to add to your chart.

Per an English Genealogist on the show one of Courteney’s ancestors murdered King Edward the second by sticking a red-hot poker up his ass (he put it in a nicer way). This Englishman said that this was “after King Edward fell out of favor because of his failures on the battle field”. I happen to have read a history book in which this event was described and what the English Genealogist didn’t want to say was that this event occurred after the Battle of Bannockburn in which the Scots nocked the hell out of the English army.  

I have found that the records of working class people get rarer as you go back through the centuries until even the church records run out. The fact that your direct ancestors double each generation depending where they lived there is a good chance you will get some noble blood on your chart too.
