Who were your ancestors/relations?

hmm..all's I know is that my great, great grandma or something is from Sweden and I think Ugoslovia (sp?) and thats really all I know. :p
 
Well, we just recently found a Geneaology report for some of my family.
The DeBruyckere's. The first Debruyckere was Antony DeBruyckere, who was born in 1564 in Belgium. Then we have all the DeBryuckere's from then until now.

No one famous, though...or, at least that I know of...
 
100% norwegian:)
But some in my family moved to Canada and the USA (only one generation ago) and Japan so... yeah
 
Cool, everyone! :D A friend of my dad's gave me some documentation on my royal descent, and I recently found out that I'm a descendant of the early Earls of Pembroke (the first de Clares, from whom County Clare, Ireland was named), a sister of the 1st Earl of Wiltshire, a Templar from the Knights Templar (William Marshal), and through the de Clares, an Irish princess, Aoife MacMurchada.
 
hmm...well the first part of my family came to America in 1548 from England...and the last part of are family came over from Ireland in 1916...so thats a period of 368 years that it took my family to completly get on this side of the pond. I mostly Irish and English...but supposively my mom says there is some Swiss in me too

Awesome! I'm descended from William "The Conqueror" and Charlemagne too (through my grandmother (refer to the first post in the thread for my line from William))!:D
 
I am of icelandic and norwegian heritage. My great grandma Augusta came from Norway to baysit her sister´s children here in Iceland. She fell in love with a local man and tadaa they settled here in Iceland ^^
I am only 1/8 part norwegian but it has certain affects upon me. My grandma got a very norwegian upbrining and her mother passed down to her many norwegian traditions. And then they were passed out onto mom and she uses them today. That refclets in the fact that we don´t throw any food away, use everything as well as we can and use money sparely.

Otherwise I am Icelandic but of Norwegian roots and possibly celtic as the norwegian vikings that setteld here often brought celtic slaves with them.
I love being Icelandic. I am a part of a tiny little island but it is a beautiful one. I love the culture my country has and I am very proud of it. But I am a proud part Norwegian as well ^^
 
Im Acadian (cajun) which means that my ancestors were from france, moved to what is nova scotia today (it was called Acadia), and got kicked out of there by some british people... and made there way to louisiana :D (and the kicking out of nova scotia by the british is called the acadian exile :) ) *ahem* thats all i know :rolleyes:

that's what I call a real viking! :D Norwegian heritage and the closest you get to the old-norse language! That's so freaking sweet!!! :D
 
Thanks yeah it´s sweet to be a decendant from vikings but it can actually get annoying when people think you are a viking yourself -___- I am just a fairly normal teenage girl ^^ Did ya know (oh dear) that icelandic is the closest language that comes to the original old-norse. That´s one the reason why it´s so UNunderstandable ^^;
