The search began several months ago and often back at the edge of the black forest the town was all the flutter since a popular magazine reported Meghan Markle has ancestors from the area i was excited to and asked the mayor and the town archivist about it. Keeps all the towns Church Records hes rather skeptical about the often heard connection.

This archive preserve all the Church Records from the region we search for the baptismal records from the years in question. It turns out that the greatest challenge is to cipher in the Old Fashioned handwriting we go through one year after another and hit the jackpot in seventeen thirty to. Register his sons baptism. This is the very same. Junior this is the original now we can be sure its not a false lead. We found a possible line of descent from tons to Meghan Markle but it would take years of research to nail down finot if proof. Spreads and some are very precise but with others you know were no for sure because on the document we just saw for instance no mother was listed there could have been many people with the name Frederick Mark. Either name. Even with all the evidence that points to. We still cant be truly certain still deputy mayor.
