@mira460 Anglo Saxons were not German, they were Germanic, which is different. The Germanic peoples originated in Scandanavia and spread from there to parts of Europe as well as to Britain where they mixed with the native Brits and became the English.. Their DNA is virtually indistinguishable from that of modern day Denmark, as is the Norman's who also originated there. When the Germanic people moved to northern Europe they too mixed with the people already there and formed the Deutsch of Deutschland as well as the very similar Dutch people of the Netherlands. Only English speakers call the Deutch the all encompassing term Germans.

Your Genealogy charts are always very interesting. However, Queen Victoria might not be as German as we might think. Her father is supposed to be the Kings younger brother, Edward Augustus the Duke of Kent. Yet many believed at the time that the Duke was far to old to have fathered Victoria. Instead many believed that Sir John Ponsonby- Conroy, her mothers private secretary was Victoria's father. This suspicion even originated in the Royal family itself and HRH the Duke of Clarence even referred to them as the Conroyal family. Victoria herself at aged 10 surprised her mother and Sir John engaged in what was referred to as "some familiarities". And when Victoria became Queen one of her first duties was to dismiss Sir John. If this paternity claim is true, it would make the royals even more British .
