PERSONS OF ROYAL DESCENT
In Natural Course, Millions Might Lay
Claim to Blood of William
the Conqueror.
There are more claims of descent
from William the Conqueror than from
uny monarch In the world, and in most
cases a descendant of this King comes
down n lino of 15 or 120 other royal
personages, nlthough sometimes the
descent from monarch to plain, un
titled yeoman seems to have been ac
complished in two or three genera
tions. There Is practically no limit to
his descendants today mid one geneal
ogist says this fact Is accounted for by
the statement that, according to the
regular proportion of incrense In each
generation since his time, the descend
ants of William the Conqueror would
now number more than twice the pres
ent populutlon of the British Isles. So,
of course, it Is very easy to see how
many of them came over to the United
States.
