My 6th great grandparents are John Augustus & Elizabeth Springer. For years I have been trying to find information on John's parents. I have searched other sites, contacted relatives, and searched ancestry books, only to find nothing and thinking he is a "dead end".
Upon trying again, I did another online search. I found something that completely blew me away. All the basic information I have on John & Elizabeth matches what I found, but then the search showed his parents...just what I have been looking for.
BUT...what blew me away is that it shows his father as Lewis Augustus also known as the Prince of Wales Frederick Ludwig. I did an online search and this person is who it says he is...Royalty.
Has anyone else came across this information?
I'm not crossing my fingers or anything in the hopes I have Royal blood in my veins...but would like to confirm it to pass along to my family.
