Royal Zap

Hey guys!

As promised in my last blog where I dove into my family lineage, I’ve kept digging deeper—and wow, what a journey it’s been. Discovering more about my ancestors and the incredible heritage they’ve left behind has been mind-blowing. The further back I traced, the closer I felt to something truly divine: Jesus Christ Himself.

It’s tough to put faith into words, but when you’re praying through this process and truly seeking, God opens doors in ways you never expect. That connection to a royal family started making sense on a spiritual level. My family tree is a real melting pot—people from every walk of life, crossing oceans and centuries. I always knew if I went far enough, I’d reach Africa, and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.

It started with the Plantagenet records. Once those clicked into place, linking back to Germany and the Holy Roman Empire was only a matter of time. That’s huge because the title I’ve received ties right into that same historical empire. Becoming a prince is one thing, but recovering old family records showing we were royalty within the very same lineage? That’s on another level entirely.

We started as everyday Americans—living life, fighting wars side by side, building communities for generations. But before America, we were knights and royal barons in England. I got to see a whole different side of the Washington story—the one they definitely don’t teach in school. I kept asking myself: Why were they so elite? The answer came as I went further back: higher and higher until we reach kings and queens of their respective countries. From there, my own connections helped me tap into the empire and essentially travel back in time through the records.

Around the same time I was buried in family documents, my DNA analysis results finally came in. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. The results showed a match to an ancient Greek royal tomb connected to Alexander the Great’s big Greek family. I was speechless. This means royal ancestry stretching back before the time of Jesus Christ.

I had to pause and remind myself why I started this ancestry journey in the first place. As records got harder to obtain the further back I went, I leaned on scientific technology and my own mathematical skills to keep pushing. That’s how I traced the roots of the Holy Roman Empire straight into the heart of the Roman Empire—and that’s where the real truth emerged.

From the Julio-Claudian bloodline to Greece and beyond, it all connected. Mark Antony is one of my ancestors, and through his significant relationship with Cleopatra, the Pharaoh of Egypt, the trail led right into ancient Egypt. It was through records tied to my great aunt that I pieced together the ancient Egyptian links and found Alexander the Great sitting there on my family tree. Seeing him connected was just incredible.

This brought a startling revelation about my faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Like all great leaders, when they pass on, the world falls into chaos. History shows efforts to keep this bloodline pure through close marriages. That’s part of why I pursued this—to understand the full picture.

It even clicked with my own autoimmune condition. Comparing the genetics back to those ancient moments in Egypt, it lines up. After cross-referencing with what I know from the Bible, everything suddenly made sense. The sins Jesus died for are evident even in my ancestry report—and I’m so grateful He rose from the dead. My faith in Him is stronger now than ever before.

This journey proves I’m the rightful heir to Egypt and much of the Mediterranean world. I never imagined ancient royal blood flowing through my veins. I always sensed my autoimmune condition was tied to something bigger, like the price of royalty—I just didn’t know the full story until now.

I hope you guys enjoy hearing this wild story and appreciate your patience as I reclaim my roots. Thank you for sticking with me through this process.

In the next blog, I’ll dive into my indigenous American heritage and share some thoughts on getting involved with Black History Month.

As always, thank you for engaging with this content. I’ll see you in the next one!

Stay blessed,
