Most Americans with sizable New England Yankee, mid-Atlantic Quaker, or Southern "planter" ancestry are descended from medieval kings--of England, Scotland, and France especially. This book tells you how. Outlined in 1,084 pages of charts (plus another 620 pages of Index) are the best royal descendants--from the most recent king--of 900 (actually 993) immigrants to the American colonies, Quebec, or the United States who were themselves notable or left descendants notable in American history.


This second edition, in three volumes, expands the 2018 first edition by 23 immigrants--with over a dozen considerably revised and over 500 pages in some way improved or corrected. This edition is also a comprehensive survey of virtually all printed sources that lead to these royal lines. A survey of this size has never before been attempted. The result is a book that quantitatively and qualitatively redefines this area of genealogical research and outlines American genealogical links to medieval kings and their "dark age" and "ancient world" forebears. It summarizes all pertinent research published through mid-2022 and is by far the most comprehensive treatment of the subject in print. Thus, RD 900, as it is familiarly known, provides a bibliography of each immigrant and ready means of access to royal-descent literature.


Of the 993 immigrants treated here, 501 came to the American colonies and left descendants, in some cases now numbering several million, but almost always many thousands. The remaining immigrants collectively suggest much about the distant kinships of living Americans, the total contributions to American life of persons of noble, royal, and gentle ancestry, and genealogical connections between Americans and many major leaders in world history.
