ou can access information via e- mail. My parents did a geneaological european 6week trip that I read lots of tour books about the countries they'd be going to. Wow what a difference between tour books. So with those dates was able to contact cities, counties, etc. via e-mail I listed my e-mail address as well as snail mail, being 2003, plus my phone number. I was amazed at how many places called me, on the phone, to give info then sent snail mail pakages also. I was able in England and Scotland to have direct info to both my Mom & Dad that was pulled in their genealogical parts of the county offices. On my Dad was able to have docs from the mid 1600's pulled. The brothers kept going back & forth like the QEll. So you'd be best to do some preliminary genealogy here and go thru info at Salt Lake City, Mormon church has extensive genealogy information from all over the world.

[@freyatilly]

Yes indeed the 12th. There is more to be known of her. It takes a bit of digging. But being in England and having access to some source material at the British Library was much to my advantage. Starkey is very persuasive in his arguments, but, in my opinion, not altogether correct. There is a reported picture of "Jane" at Sion House. Discovery after some renovations. It is small though somewhat extraordinary as it isn't too complimentary. Having read so many source and translated materials, the various descriptions of Jane vary somewhat. But by these one can bring a full picture to mind. Best wishes. Freya

Hello RNS! What a lovely young woman your recreation shows. Looking at her, there seems to be similarities between her and other Tudors, namely, Elizabeth I. I do think that Edward really resembled his mother, Jane Seymour. I haven't figured out Mary Tudor yet. She doesn't look like either one of her parents per the portraits available. She might be a throwback to one of her ancestors on either side of the family. I admire your work when I watch your videos.
