On my fathers side other than his mother being full blooded Blackfeet and his father being Lithuanian, I know nothing. It can be an entertaining pursuit.

  (6. not worth mentioning.)

I've traced my mother's side, the Lemoine line back to 938 France. My dad's side back to 1066 with William the Bastard and I know that they were a family of Goths from Southern France that were invited by William to take a trip to England. My sixth great grandfather led the Schenectady massacre, on my mother's side.
February 8, 1690
Related to Robert the Bruce and William Wallace and much more such. It's been said that if you go back 900 years everyone is related. There is a legend on my mother's side that one of our forefathers was one of the Magi.

On my father’s paternal side, an aunt traced our family back to the revolutionary war, we have been involved in every US war… most certainly came from England or Ireland.

Fathers maternal side is O’ Sullivan, my grandma’s dad was a railroad man, do not know past that.

Mom’s paternal side traced back to Lujan Lujan the 1st came from the Canary Islands (late 1500’s) and ended up in Taos New Mexico died 1636.

Mom’s maternal side, grandma was a Pueblo Indian, raised ina Catholic mission.

So I am changing my name to Nigel Patrick Tonto Trujillo.

We've traced ours back to primates ... no surnames at the time. Lol

I think of myself as descended from a thousand generations of peasant farmers. 

Yep.

We are still the product of all who came before us. Luckily these days we aren't bound by our families and can become whatever we can achieve.

At 32,000 predecessors 1000 years ago, we like to look for famous ancestors. Once we find one we focus on that person. But who were the other 31,999?

I've found over a hundred that I'm proud to call ancestors.
Actually, those are the ones that I've been able to get the most information on. I haven't found very many criminals and misfits. Only one murderer and that was during the Hatfield and McCoy troubles.

If we’re all the genetic result of such nobility and royalty and impeccable blue-blood breeding, how have we managed the impending ruin of our Republic? ‘S’plain me dat.

The other side doesn't know who their father was. 😉😁😎

"No. There is no resemblance."
