I am trying to find whether I am related to the royal family. I think there maybe a very distant link (I am NOT rich!). My great grandparent was an Edmonstone. I believe the Edmonstones (from Scotland) were a well off family and I believe they are linked with the Keppell family and so with Camilla and of course she is related to Charles. Is there any way of finding out the royal family trees to see if I can find a link? Janine Toulson PS Please reply via this site in the first instance please
