9. Descended from King Malcolm/Queen Margaret, King David, Robert the Bruce and Robt 1,11, and 111

When i first came across the Scottish royal lineage on a DNA cousin's tree on Ancestry, I was skeptical until I read the historical research compiled by Adrian Benjamin Burke and published in the Genealogist magazine in 2013 and by the NY Genealogical Society. Burke and other researchers and historians spent 5 years tracing the ancestral records both in NY and Scotland of the lineage of the Duncanson sisters who emigrated to New Netherlands in 1600's. I am descended from Mary Duncanson and Pieter Loockermans who settled in NY.

Not royal but DNA evidence shows that I am related to Otzi the Iceman since my mother shares his K maternal haplotype and my father has the same paternal Y DNA G haplotype as Otzi. Makes sense since Otzi was found in Alps near border of Italy and Austria. My mother was Italian and my father's Y DNA haplotype is most commonly found in Austrian men.
