right on, they do, but again what I said is the truth. You know you can't make the truth different even if you want to. It's OK, it's great if you derive from these kings and all that. But it still doesn't change the fact, that they never wanted to battle my forefathers, it is understandable and it was a wise decision, otherwise it would be me who was the king heritage.... you see, I'm cool with that, you can be all the power to you for that.

Kings = thugs. Your ancestors were no greater boon to humanity than the average Crip lord!Originally posted by reds4ever
We were Kings, to claim a 'relationship' with a President probably means your Great Great Great Aunty was a prostitute who went two's up on Jefferson and Washington.

My ancestors tagged along with William of Orange for a bit. If he got a bit restless around the chamber maids, I could be related to the British and Dutch monarchies.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

You're claiming ancestry simply based on your name! For all you know you may be directly related to the cousin who was kept locked in the tower in order to placate the peasentry.Originally posted by reds4ever

Oh wait. Did I say locked in the tower? Excuse me. IIRC the Irish prior to being saved from their mad inbred warlords by the English had just discovered mud and were nowhere near the castle building stage of civilization.
I can also claim a direct link to the man responsible for adding the territory northwest of the Ohio river. He conquered an area larger than the UK, and France together. Another ancestor was one of the main explorers of the Louisiana purchase. Oh, and I can also claim a link to Mark Twain."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

One of my ancestors was a royal guard in Denmark sometime in the 17th or 18th century or so. I think that's about as high on the social ladder as my ancestors ever got -- the vast majority of them were illiterate farmers in France until they moved to Canada and became illiterate lumberjacks.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

The closest name we've ever found is Luziatta, which was a family of German Jews which immigated to Italy in the 16th Century. I suspect we are not related, because my Italian family was a bunch of the Pope's peasants. We weren't owned by just anyone, but by God's man on Earth.
Course, on the other side of the family, I'm decended from various nobles (Irish, English-Scotts, German, etc.).Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Descended on mother's side from Angle nobility with possible royal connection (Burch). Exact lineage prior to 1600 is too uncertain to be more precise.
Descended on father's side from a minor Italian noble's daughter married off to a German dude, again tracing back past 1600 problemmatic.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!
