wow, impressive!

I have no idea about my ancestry. only thing I know: we're from Iraq.

I'm 67% certain I'm not Jewish.

Posted: **Mon Jun 03, 2013 8:33 pm**

I've never thought of any Jewish heritage in me. Most likely I don't have any or just a little...

Posted: **Mon Jun 03, 2013 8:38 pm**

Jews in my blood? I wouldn't be surprised, but at the same time, I don't think there are any that I can think of.

@Ad Wow, that's really interesting to learn about.

As everybody knows in here, I'm portuguese. I don't think I have close relatives of other countries.

Ok.. New information abot my herritage.. Appearantly my great great great grandfather was some kind of seafaring russian guy who made maps of certain parts of the sea so that some island could be identified...
(I found this in old family documents... I'm really bored.. I should find a hobby...)

Because I am really bored and thet's the reason I digged up those family documents =P
It's indeed pretty awesome but that doesn't mean I'm not bored as fuck

Researching your family's past is awesome, I believe. I don't have any old documents or anything, so I don't have that opportunity.

Posted: **Wed Jun 05, 2013 3:23 pm**

I have to agree with Rulez, it sounds like you have some pretty cool ancestry there, Ikke.

Both sides of my family are convinced they have French roots, for a start my middle name (Eleanor) was taken from my mum's nan who's apparently like half French or something, IDK.

My ancestors were very involved in the war: My grandfather (German) was a high-ranking Nazi, who actually worked against them and freed a bunch of prisoners, granting him the title of a war hero; due to having one of his destroyed in the War, he now wears a glass eye. I recall when I was about nine or so, when I was at his apartment, the authorities came through the door, attempting to gain information from him. - My great-grandfather, his father, was also a veteran of World War I.

My great-grandmother (Russian, his wife's mother), was actually related to the Grand Duchess Anastasia. What form of relation I do not know, and whether it was through blood or not, it was a friendship at the very least. If it were through blood then, that means that I may have a very thin essence of Queen Victoria's blood running through my veins.

So did it turn out you're not adopted then?

I've found an answer, but I don't know if it still counts as 'adoption' when you consider the technical meaning of the word. My parents gave me to the orphanage when I was only a few months old, then took me back when I was five. It's clearly because of their sports, because that's more important, of course, than having a child that can look you in the eyes and call you mum.

At least I can say that I lived in Norway for five years. A lovely place it is!

Your little soap opera started off quite intriguing, but finding out that you were adopted by your own biological parents is quite an anticlimax. 6/10

Posted: **Thu Jun 06, 2013 2:43 pm**

I give you my lowest possible rating. 8/10

Posted: **Thu Jun 06, 2013 2:51 pm**

How can I got baited even partially by this story? You threw it with last comment :\/.

Full French family, all my grandparents are French, as my parents are. Seems my great grandparents too. Not quite particular ancestors.

Meh

I wish I could have answered with only a smiley.

Narvik I believe. I also recall at one point being in a Summery place, and after searching various sites, I'm going to take a guess at it being Mandal, as the beach rings a bell and there don't seem to be many large beaches in Norway.

Yeah, it's not exactly what I'd hoped for. I would've preferred something interesting to tell the children!

Threw?

For some reason I find the concept of so many ancestors hailing from the same ethnicity an extremely unlikely circumstance, regardless of the fact that it happens to so many. I suppose that's mostly to do with the fact that I live in Canada though, as everyone in NA comes from a billion different backgrounds. In America though, I've often refrained from asking the question, because the most common response I hear with my own ears is 'the American race.'

Maybe because tons of people there have ancestors from Indian tribes.

Yeah I know, too easy...I'm leaving.
