Reply #32: "Northern European" [View All]

[Xithras]

When people ask my ancestry, that's my answer. If they press further, I sually just tell them "mostly German".

I have German on both sides of my family, and am 55% German when you add both sides up. The other 45% is mostly Borders Scot and English, but I have Irish, French, and a little Dutch tossed in for good measure. Just to make things interesting, there was a paper published last week which showed that it was a Moroccan legion that guarded Hadrians wall in ancient times, and that they didn't leave after their duty was finished. Since the Scottish side of my family originated only a few miles from the wall and we have evidence that they'd been there prior to the 1400's, I just may have a little Moor in me as well :)
