Where can I find my family tree?
With family history, you always begin with yourself and work your way backwards. Write down everything you know and organize it then write down questions for which you are seeking answers. Next, visit, call or write to your oldest living relatives and ask the questions.
When you have exhausted all home and close family resources, visit or write to the library, archives or churches in the areas where your family lived. If you have no idea, get birth/marriage/death records and extract the pertinent information to set you in the right direction.
The Internet is also a great resource. Use Google to search for your ancestors' names and locations. There are commercial sites such as Ancestry.com and free sites such as WikiTree.com.
Family research is all about being a detective. Listen and search for the clues to keep you moving in the right direction.
Most families do not have a history ready and waiting in some library somewhere for you to ask for it. You have to do the research and put it together yourself.
What is the value of 1982 princess of wales and birth of Prince William coin?
If such a coin does exist, and I have trawled the Royal Mint catalogues with no success, then its value would depend on the metal used. Typically commemorative coins are struck in either sterling silver or in gold, and have a face value of £5 in modern times. I would think, since such things are notoriously hard to sell, their value would be restricted to the weight of the metal in question, and the selling rate of that same metal per ounce at the time of selling.
Are you sure you are not referring to the coin which was struck in both gold and silver for Prince William's 21st birthday? I have spent hours trying to track down one struck in 1982 and drawn a blank. However, there are sometime unofficial mints, ie those having no affiliation with the governmental Royal Mint, which issue coins. The Franklyn mint is one such. Coins from these sources have little intrinsic value, they are merely worth what somebody is willing to pay at a given time, even though their initial purchase might have been fairly costly.
Is the british royal family of Jewish heritage?
No, they belong to the Anglican Church. Also known as the Church of England.
Why aren't princess Anne's children called prince or princess?
The correct title is Princess Royal. The title Princess Royal came about as a response to the French title 'Madame Royal'. The title is given to the eldest daughter of a monarch, provided there is no-one who already has the title. Thus, Princess Anne is styled the Princess Royal, while her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, never was, as her aunt, Princess Mary already carried the title.
Did Henry VIII break from Rome for love?
Henry VIII broke with the church because the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. He desired a divorce so that he would be free to marry Anne Boleyn, who he believed would produce a male heir. Queen Katherine was beyond childbearing years. The combination of Queen Katherine not producing a living male heir and Henry's passion for Anne Boleyn drove him to break with the church.

Who is older Prince William or Prince Charles?
Prince Philip (10th June 1921- ) is currently aged 90 and the husband of the current queen, Elizabeth II (21st April 1926- ).
Prince Charles (14th November 1948- ) is the heir apparent to the British throne and will become King upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II. He is the son of Prince Philip and Elizabeth II, so therefore obviously younger than Prince Philip.
Are there any surviving parents of the late Diana Princess of Wales?
No, because if they were still alive updates would be on the news.
Did Princess Diana donate to the poor?
Princess Diana got rich by ancestry. When she was born her father was Viscount Althorpe, but after the death of her grandfather he became Earl Spencer. The title had started in the 15th century and is carried today by Diana's brother Charles. Her mothers side was equally well off. Francis Shyd-Kidd was the daughter of Baron Fermoy, whose grandmother had been friends with the mother of Winston Churchill.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, popularly known as 'Kate Middleton' in the headlines, has lived in the quiet, quaint village of Bucklebury, Berkshire, England with her family (the Middletons) since she turned 12 and the Middletons moved into a five-bedroom detached house in Bucklebury nestled in the English countryside called 'Oak Acre'.
How tall is Kate Middleton and how much does she weigh?
Like all women, Kate's weight fluctuates throughout the month, so there is no definite "weight" for her.
We do know that she has lost a lot of weight since university (she reportedly wears a European size six, which is just one size about the U.S. size zero), she could easily put some weight back on.
The healthiest weight would be for Kate Middleton to be somewhere in between what weight she is right now and her weight while she was at university.
