Over 700 People Have Come Forward Claiming To Be Related To Or The Mother Of The Children Of The Late Singer Prince


Prince
 
In what is thoughtless behavior, over 700 people have come forward claiming to be related to the late singer Prince or the mothers of his children. Prince died at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 21, 2016 and no will was found. Ever since then, opportunistic people have been coming out of the woodwork making fraudulent claims, in bids at gaining a share of his estimated $100,000,000 fortune.

Prince did not father children by many women nor is he related to half the planet (his former wife Mayte Garcia gave birth to a babies that died within a week and then miscarried a second child). An overwhelming majority of the people coming forward with these claims have never even met Prince. These claims are costly and outrageous. Lawyers for Prince's estate and the administrator need to put their foot down, via making it plainly clear, if anyone files a fraudulent claim, they will be arrested and prosecuted. If they fail to get serious regarding these fraudulent claims, the estate will lose millions of dollars in trying to sort out baseless paternity and DNA claims.

Side Bar: Previously, Prince thought he was of Italian ancestry, due to questions surrounding his maternal grandfather's ethnicity. Towards the end of his life, Prince discovered he was not of Italian ancestry. His parents roots lay in New Orleans, Louisiana, which has many people of black and French descent. Prince's father was black. His mother was black as well, but of mixed ancestry, leading many to believe she was Creole. Therefore, it appears Prince was of African and French ancestry.

EXCLUSIVE: The gold rush begins! 700 people claim to be Prince's siblings as judge rules DNA samples be taken from the music legend's blood to verify claims
 
Published: 11:06 EST, 7 May 2016 | Updated: 17:37 EST, 7 May 2016 - Nearly 700 men and women from all over the United States have rushed to claim they are Prince’s long-lost half sibling as the dash to get a share of his fortune that could top $1billion heats up. But only one looks likely to have a shot at proving she is actually a blood relative of the singer whose sudden April 21 death shocked the music world, the man who is leading the official hunt for relatives tells Daily Mail Online in an exclusive interview. 

‘Our phone has been ringing off the hook, I would say we have received between 600 and 700 calls,’ Harvey Morse said. ‘They run the gamut, literally from “We lived in the same area so we must be related", to “We have pictures of Prince at our family reunion".' Prince’s estate (pictured above is his Paisley Park mansion) is estimated to be worth $300million, but it could increase to $1billion. ‘But I like official documents,’ he added. ‘Birth, marriage, death, divorce certificates, census records, that sort of thing - papers that were drawn up without any thought of this eventuality.’... 

On Friday, Judge Kevin Eade, who is overseeing the estate, issued an order in Carver County, Minnesota, allowing for DNA samples to be taken from Prince’s blood to help verify claims, giving those who believe they are related four months in which to file. He ordered that blood be transferred from the Midwest Medical Examiner Office in Ramsey, Minnesota, where the autopsy was conducted, to a DNA diagnostic center in Fairfield, Ohio... 

Heir Hunters International, another company that specializes in finding long-lost relatives has claimed that it has found Prince’s son, but Morse said he doubts that is true. ‘If that was the case I would have expected them to have been in court on Monday establishing their case, but they weren’t there. We were,’ he said. 

Morse said Prince’s estate could take years to sort out. ‘Bob Marley also died without a will,’ he pointed out. ‘He died 35 years ago and settlement of his estate is still ongoing. ‘The lesson to take from all this is “Make a will,”‘ he said. ‘But lots of people don’t, either because they think they’re immortal, they don’t want to think about death or they put it off, saying they will do it tomorrow, but the truck comes down the road today.’...

Men Have Hope Because The Friendzone Is Not A Permanent Situation Or Status


You're in the friend zone

The internet refers to the friendzone as a place where typically a man is romantically attracted to a woman, who only views him as a friend. Men find this frustrating and sad, especially when they have strong feelings for the woman. However, these relationships do not always remain platonic, so men have hope.


For example, in my aunt Lorna Goodison's award winning book "From Harvey River" which is about the history of our family, there is a humorous true story about how my grandparents met. My late grandmother was a beautiful woman. She had long, black curly hair, light brown eyes and an olive complexion (not to mention, big breasts, which is probably what granddad saw first LOL).

 

Wow, she's hanging her purse around his neck (LOL)

When my virginal grandmother was an of age teenager, she thought she was alone at the river running through the town her English grandfather founded and built up. She took off her dress and went swimming in the river in her underwear and bra. Custom in the town was if a male saw a woman swimming in the river alone they were not to enter. My grandpa, being a city slicker not from that town, didn't know and after she had been swimming in the river for a while, he saw her from a distance and walked up to the bank of the river (he didn't go in the river).


Then he tried to speak to her, not stating anything crude or disrespectful. And do you know what her first words were to him..."Go away!" That's not even the friendzone. That's the get-away-from-me zone (LOL). She was trying to protect her virginity and reputation.

 

People heard her complaining and the story got back to her parents, who went to him, giving him a stern talking to about it. However, shortly after they became friends, began dating, got married and brought 9 children into this world. Therefore, once again, men, don't give up. The friendzone isn't always permanent.

Researchers State Contrary To President Obama's Claims In His Book He Did Descend From Slaves


Barack Obama

Contrary to President Barack Obama’s claims in his biography, he did indeed descend from an African slave. Ancestry.com did extensive research and discovered Obama’s white-American mother, the late Ann Dunham, descended from a slave.

The slave was brought from Africa to Virginia in the United States, during the 17th century. The name of the slave was John Punch. He was sentenced to indentured servitude for trying to run away. He married a white-American and had mixed raced children. Ann Dunham is one of his descendants.
