eleanor of aquitaine

ok, so....we have a genealogical trail, prepared by our semi-resident genealogy buff, that traces my known ancestor that came to ohio in the early 1800's through the Shenandoah valley from maryland.....solomon c......back in time through eleanor of aquitaine to charlemagne.......our expert had explained all this to us several years ago, but it was not until he retraced these steps to prove his own scottish ancestry for scholarship purposes that i was moved to take a fresh look at these kinfolk......eleanor of aquitaine is forever frozen in time as portrayed by katherine hepburn in a lion in winter......and though i have taken the time to read her wikipedia installment.....i prefer katherine's image of a strong, witty, and wily soul......had i needed to prove scottish ancestry i would have taken a different tactic....through my grandmother c's line rather than my grandfather's.....on occassion, when asked to tell me about her family, she mentioned that she had a grandmother who came to america as a slavegirl from glasgow.....she must have meant an indentured servant....and that her family had ties to aristocracy......that is not quite the word my grandmother would have used.....and being a humble woman she would only have mentioned such a detail if it were not matter-of-fact.....i so appreciate the hard of work put into this family tree by a child who leaves no stone unturned in finding out essential details......
