Your Elizabeth is my 4th cousin 7 times removed - not exactly a close relation!
I take it you mean Elizabeth descended from Richard, William, Leonard, James, Ralph, Christopher, John/Jean de Forbin?The problem with the John/John link to French nobility is that he is said to be a bastard son of Jean II, Seigneur de la Barben, b. 1428, but only one tree with no suporting document suggests he existed.All the French trees disclose only one wife for Jean II.So it's a tenuous tale, though possibly true.
Anyway, I'm descended from James' (b. c. 1569) brother William.If you'd like to exchange some gedcoms, let me know.
