Discuss your family history

I'm descended from German dairy farmers, Irish bread thieves, Scottish royalty that was stripped of their title due to a blood feud with a king, and English aristocrats. I'm also a direct descendant of Daniel Boone. Many of my more recent ancestors fought in the American Civil War, mostly on the side of the Confederacy, but I'm also ironically related to Abraham Lincoln by marriage. Discuss some of your genealogy, Offtopic.

    I sailed here from the empire of octagons. Being the Lord of the empire I sailed here to spread the octagon memes.Using my normal gamer tag was always a mistake. So I transformed into a fairly average memester. Things were rough, though. I got such hate for spreading my octagon culture. But then one day, I evolved into The Lord Memester. Octagons were accepted, I grew slightly more popular. So here I am today known as a slightly popular meme lord. I even joined a few groups, that accepted the octagon. It's pretty great.

  • My ancestors came from India, and some were Eastern Asian, but most of my family members are négroids (no racism intended ) I really won't need to share a lot of detail but I'm mixed. ~ troygamer11

  • My family all comes from Finland. My father is 100% Finnish and my mother is somewhat Finnish, Norwegian, and German. My family name is fairly popular over there, and I guess the closest comparison would be Smith here. I don't know much about our family history, although my deceased grandfather fought in WWII.

  • Fathers side came from France and my mother's side came from Spain. My French ancestors were French aristocrats and fled when the French revolution was gathering steam. They fled to Holland to the province of Zeeland to a town called Veere where my last name comes from. That said I don't know anything about my mother's side so I can't tell you anything about that.

  • Banged for several generations. Then got to me, told me not to bang. But pressures me to get married and have kids so the family name will continue. (If I die so does my last name)

    • My family are American revolutionaries. We have official papers as sons and daughters of the revolution on both sides of my family. However we don't know much about our European roots. Mix of everything from what we can tell. My great grandfather who is still alive fought in WWII. My grandfather fought in Vietnam. My father was in the Army stationed in Germany during the Berlin Wall era. However it seems i broke the chain. Having four major back surgeries and only 23 my first year in AFROTC ended after my DODMERB disqualified me from service. Thats a little of my family history.

    • My family was one of the five family founders of the North Carolina mountains. My mom's side is partly from Portugal and migrated to America through Ellis Island. I'm also Scottish but don't know much about my descendants from there.

    • All I know is that one side of my family came from Prussia in the late 1800's, and the other came from Sicily, Calabria, and Naples in the early 1900's.

    • I don't know very much in depth about my individual ancestors but I do know roughly where my family comes from. I know my father's side were Irish farmers and Scandinavian- presumably Vikings I'm going to guess. My mother's side is from all over including England and Scotland - and also from European Jewish descent (from what I know about my ancestors probably Poland.)

    • My father's Australian, and my birth mother was British. Or so I've been told. And that's about as much as I know about my family history.
