P. W Montague-Smith collected information about President Roosevelt's family. mainly from U.8. sources, he says. It shows an actual rela-- tionship between the President and King George VI.
The Roosevelt family was Dutch. The President's mother's was French.
In twenty-six generations (the number from William the Con- queror to President Roosevelt) 3 man would be descended. from over 30,000,000 different people if none of his prede- cessors were related.
But there were not 30,000,000 people in Europe in 1066.
• Theoretically, the whole of Europe would have become inter-related during the last thousand years. Actually royalty has mostly inter-married, and, oving to the lack of transport,, people in many villages have done the same.
11
Differences in social levels have also helped to keep people from inter-marrying. though less so In England than most countries.
Nevertheless, over 3 long period of time changes in social level and the gradual movement of the population from one place to another have caused inter- marriage, and the majority of the people in England are now related to one another.
