My side of the family stayed very local to where we are now, although saying that a branch of my tree did come from Russia and Pennsylvania.
With my mums side I managed to get back to 1669, with my dads side 1779, ex hubbys family is far more complex, with gypsies and the such so much harder to track down (although thankfully they had lots of weird and wonderful names so up to a point it was quite easy) |

Mums grandparents were all Irish, but had lived here since their early twenties.
Not sure if my dads side were anything but English. Can't trace back any other influences on his side. |

My family originate from Sicily which means I could be anything seeing as amongst the first settlers were Phoenicia and Greek and the island was invaded my times by the Romans, Greek, Arabs and Normans to name a few, so my DNA could be interesting |

Irish on my mums side although my grandad was Scottish. She had a very Irish maiden name and English/Scottish on my dads side.
My maiden name is also French, I remember it being a name in French text books when I was at school but I refused to pronounce it the French way. |

Norway being the oldest back trace in my group, feel free to add yours "
We have traced ours back to the middle 1700's, but they have all been based in England, quite boring really |

Apparently, on my father's side, we are descended from a Portuguese Prince exiled to Spain (or it's the other way around) in the 1500's...somehow they ended up in the north of England and everyone seems to have lovely olive skin except me!
Mothers side seem to have been Yorkshire forever

My father's side were from Northern Ireland although I haven't gone back any further than 1861.
On my mother's side we can trace her family to the vikings, to Normandy and then they came over with the conquests in 1066. They them became land owners in Fife in the 1200s. It's a name derived from D'roc. Today I have cousins all over the world, many in Canada and the USA.
I find that's freaking awesome!
I was brought up Scottish in Kenya but have lived in England since I left school. |

My mums side is from Glasgow.
My Dads side is from France. The Huguenot escaped France in the something-hundreds (long time ago) to escape religious persecution and set up shop in England.
Apparently, there is a hospital in London that I can stay in for free if I can prove I'm a descendant of the Huguenot clan |

My great great grandmother was from Bangladesh and married an English policeman. Their great grand daughter moved to Northern Ireland hence why all my fathers side are from or live in Northern Ireland.
My mothers side: her grandmother was French gypsy. Unfortunately she died in childbirth ( having my grandfather ) and he left my mum when she was 3 so don't know much about that douche bag. |

Scottish, English, Welsh and French. Probably very similar to most people living in the UK.
My children have all of the above (obviously), and are also part Cherokee and Scandinavian. |

I'm half Essex, half Mauritian.
But Mauritius is full of ALL nationalities. Indian, African, Chinese, Dutch.....
My father's ancestors are from, cough, the Middle East.
Not the greatest thing to admit right now.  |

Agreed, not everyone of middle Eastern descent is unpleasant, just as not everyone from anywhere else is unpleasant. The actions of a few do not equate to a perception of the many |

The Middle East is one of the loveliest and most interesting areas I've had the pleasure of working in. The five years I spent there was one of my best experiences. Lovely places, lovely people. Shame an incredibly small minority give it a bad reputation
I would go back in an instant |

Even if our ancestors are responsible for horrific acts of violence that in no way reflects on us. My children's great great grandfather was a Grand Wizard for the state of Mississippi. |

It is truly interesting seeing what a mix of DNA we all are. We or our ancestors were all migrants. If everybody thought about it for a bit the world would be a better and more peaceful place for all!
As for us ...
He is Mediterranean (Malta, Sicily, Greece)
She is South African (Cape Malay, Malaysia, Indian, Black South African with a white scottish great grand father also thrown into the mix)

It's horrific but in no way reflects badly on my kids or my ex. My ex's dad fought against the indoctrination of his upbringing and broke free. That should be celebrated. |

"Dunno, the slavers weren't particularly fussed about keeping records of origin once they got their cargo to the West Indies.
"
If memory serves, they didn't even care if some died on the voyage. Didn't even unchain them from the rest in some cases.
Humans are capable of monstrosity on incalculable level |

Please don't feel that way. I'm Catholic, I'm not going to start being ashamed of that because of paedophile priests. All of us have some link to some group of people who have done something horrific at some point in time. It doesn't mean we have to feel ashamed of our heritage. |

Barbary pirates and Vikings are responsable for spreading a lot of Irish DNA into the slave trade.
BBC History online has a really good section on British slaves being kidnapped from Irish villages.
Terrible for anyone to suffer, yet we have the sex slave trade right here in the UK now. |

Why stop at 100, 200 or 300 years.
Merely a drop in the ocean of time but only about 2.8 million years ago all our relatives were knocking about together in Africa.
Quite poignant in light of the weekend if you think about it. Didn't take us too long to turn into a bunch cunts. |

Not strictly true.
Partly cause the older estimates for man is about 150k years and also because we interbred with the various other, hmm what's the word for not ape but not yet human species collectively? Anyway we interbred with various other similar creatures that originated in different parts of the world.
Then there's the geographic isolation which greatly changed people's into the phenotypes we see today.
Also not sure why you think a bunch of scavengers breeding often through rape is a some how less cuntish way to be. |

Well thank you for expanding on my single bullet point. I'm not sure adding detail and hilighting the more frgmented reality to a simplistic single liner has either added or detracted from my initial sentiment but thank you for making the reader aware of your knowledge. Neither did I say a society built on rape was a superior approach. Further, of all the points and nuances you could have made over the pros and cons of the basic culture and society of early hominids to focus on rape seems a tad divisive on your part. No? |

Well you point seemed to be "we all came from one place and so must have all been such an amazing lovely society "
When it's never been the case humans are on a whole much less violent today than any other day in our past.
We have never been unified we are like most other widespread animals , that is to say dicks
Always have been always will.
But by being the biggest cocks on the planet to each other and everything else we have risen to be the most successful organism and the one most assured of its survival.
In short cuntishnes isn't something that happened to humans it's what makes us human. |
