    My fathers side of the family came here way back. They were from england but settled in indian territory.

    They married into dutch and french families of the same settlement, and my family tree gets a little "intertwined" at this point.

    My mothers side came a bit later and is mostly scottish and german.

    I am me a Czech { Czechoslovakian 75% worth } and German { 25%}
    Since I am me a Czech { Czech Woman are THE sexiest on this Planet }
    I am reluctant to marry udder danny a Czech tomato { term for hot babe }
    As far as heritage ... I leave that to those who think that passing down
    hand-me-down clothes { clothes from older brother to younger brother }
    is some form of ritual or good tink.
    The one good tink about me Heritage is that I can carry it around without
    a person being the wiser.Hopefully that includes me Kin who are as wise
    as bats at nighttime often,especially when next of kin is announced.

    My family have lived within spitting distance of the Tower of London since it was built.

    I am mostly Icelandic/Scandinavian, though I call myself a Heinz 57. I have black in me, two types of native American, Cherokee and Blackfoot. Scottish, German, English, etc. etc. etc. etc...

    I am, a direct descendant of Leif Erikson. I use a statute of him for my avatar at times. My face is identical, at least when I weighed about 15 pound less. I have thought of growing my hair out to match, but it starts bothering me when I do.

    You're ruining my fantasy cenydd:steamed:..yeah ultimately we're all related it's just a bit more fun when you can make definitive links...

    I heard the estimated number Charlemagne descendent put at 30 million but that could well be wrong...I'm only different from the millions in that I'm within a single historical document of having a verified marriage and birth paper trail directly to Charlemagne....

    I'm unlikely to ever uncover that documentation as bastard children were often unrecognized by the church...but a Duke awarding a large estate as a bridal gift to a supposedly "unrelated" young woman is highly unlikely...the bride according to rumors of the time was his bastard daughter or grandaughter...and the estate is where my fathers family originated...

    Its a fun story to entertain family members or one up someone claims to be related to a famous or notorious historical figure...
