Norway. The greatest ancestor I know came to America around 1001 AD. We stopped doing a common Norway tradition of baking a weird pretzel thing around the 2000s. Man, they were good.

I feel like my ancestors were kind of Game of Thrones characters in a spanish muslim way...
My family name came from the Abbadid dinasty who ruled Sevilla in the 11th century during the muslim spain period. They were three successive king on a 70 years span. First Abbad was a smart jurist who takes a crown by plot, his son a fierce warrior king who expanded the kingdom to almost all the south of spain. The last Abbad of Sevilla, Al-Mutamid was a brillant poet who lost his kingdom betrayed by the fanaticals Almovarids he called to help him fight the christians. He died poor in exile in Morroco far from the beauty and luxury of the Alcazar of Sevilla.
His daughter Zaïda fled and became christian to marry king Alphonso IV of Castilla under the name of Isabel.

Australian here, going back as far as 1246 paternal and maternal lines include England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. After that date maternal ancestors came from France which is much harder to trace because I don't speak French. This has taken 15 years of research with much appreciated help from fellow researchers in the various countries.

My dad's family name dates back to William the conqueror. His family were awarded land and titles for their support of William in the battle of Hastings. His DNA also shows Maori decent although he has no idea how.
Mum's side is pure Irish. DNA suggests no other contributors since the emerald isle was first settled.

Melting pot here. I have Scottish, English, German (a lot), Irish, Native American, and probably some other stuff. I want to do the Ancestry or 23 and Me tests. I'm curious to see how much Native American I have. My Mom's dad was supposedly all German. My Mom's Mom was half german and half melting pot. Dad's side is pretty dang Scottish and English. Most of this is from Genealogies that both sides of the family have done. I'm fully aware, more than most, about how genetics works. Using half and whole as a 'he was 2nd generation German' since that's the best info I go.

I have never liked to share this because of how people in my school always reacted to it my ancestors are from Germany and everyone kept bringing up the Nazis and stuff like that it was horrible that they could so easily joke about stuff like that even though most of my ancestors were in America at the time because of immigration oh and I'm related to Ulysses S. Grant he is my 5th cousin
