Well, my blood is mostly Celtic with a small amount of Anglo Saxon (which is genetically similar to Celts), and since British Celtic DNA can be traced to a migration from Basque country in Spain, which was settled 35,000 years ago before Indo Europeans; probably 35,000 years.

As an ancient finn, I can proudly say that there is 99% chance my ancestors were nothing in the past. Such is life in historic wasteland.

I know that my French-Canadian side goes back to the initial founding if Quebec City by Champlain, and on my German side we got back to Bavarian peasantry post-30 Year's War. Before that, I don't know jack.

Most of the documented history of my family doesn't go back very far, due to World War II and a lack of records for people who didn't move around or go to church much, but one of my uncles did some research based on what there was. It's probably not entirely reliable, but he was able to trace an old family name back to several French nobles, including Crusaders, and a man that ended up marrying into English nobility and becoming a king of England for a short time (King Stephen). Through that connection, there's a tie to William the Bastard, and eventually Charlemagne.

I don't really care how true it is, though. Going back that far, pretty much everyone is related to someone famous because of how fast genes spread. Almost everyone of western European descent is probably related to Charlemagne one way or another.

6 generations. Which is what both grandpas remembered about their ancestry, I haven't really done any research on it myself.

However I have a friend who's actual nobility who can trace his paternal line all the way back to 1297 with total certainty, and to the 10th century going by titles, surnames and land ownership records.

They killed a danish king and a slavic god, lead the danish armies, and were the religious heads of the nation.
Interestingly, Hvide is the danish word for white, and the coat of arms looks kinda like something from KKK

>I come from a long line of cloth shawl weavers with the surname Sabourijan. Apparently this means i'm related to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

directly, about 300 years. Indirectly (i.e. after a certain point you can't tell who's a father and who's a brother, cousin, etc, but you can still trace the family as a whole) about 500 years. By implication (from the presumed etymology of the surname) the progenitor of the line was probably a lower ranking member of the Order of the Knights Templar - the name definitely attested at least as far back as that, so it isn't a modern concoction, but we don't have the records to make a direct link. So that's possibly 700 - 800 years.

Of course, that's just one branch. Other branches include a bunch of paupers, some cloth merchants, a stagecoach driver, an inventor, a fraudster, a WW1 fighter pilot, etc, etc. Genealogy can be quite interesting sometimes.

I am a direct paternal descendant of Egill Skallagrímsson, the icelandic viking on which the Egil's Saga is based on, feeling pretty alpha rn.

The Italian side of my family kept some records, but I haven't read them. Went back to the 1600's or some shit and my family was minor nobility, and one ancestor who was a mass murderer.

My first known ancestor was a wealthy landowner in Northern Sweden who was born in 1373, and was named Olaf Olafson. The land he owned is still owned by my Swedish relatives, though the Swedish government is trying to steal the land.

Furthest my dad traced our family back was to the 1300's, mostly just English plebs. Other euros mixed in there and somewhere down the line an Ashkenazi jew entered the fold, as revealed by genetic testing. Not that 0.1% shit either, roughly my dad is roughly 6% and I'm 5%.

I apparently have some important doctors and researchers and all that on his side, my mom's side is 100% blue collar pleb though. Could be a descendant of Joseph Smith but then again thousands of people from Utah probably are.

Back into some of our NA bloodline, but that shit gets hazy, especially when mixing. Irish side gets a bit hazy in the early 1600s because names start switching between Spanish and Irish for some reason. Pretty good idea of Scottish bloodline into 1400's, but based on clans and not individuals because they were evidently some of the lowest of the low class.
Only really famous person we have traced to Genealogically is Captain James Cook, but that is through a whole hell of a lot of removals.

Farthest I've cared to trace back was to the 1630's when my ancestors came to the American continent. The original guys founded several cities in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Pic related is the first map of the U.S. made by a U.S. citizen, an ancestor of mine. Some of my relatives in Ohio have a very old copy of this map. They were puritans on arrival so I figure they hadn't done much of significance back in England.

Chances are unless you actually own a real family tree thats old as fuck and updated every generation or some actual old land then you are just a pleb who's ancestors adopted name like 99.9% of people. Most records only go to the 1700's at least in Britain because that's when they created the population census and things like birth, marriage and death certificates didnt come until 1837 . Before then only aristocrats tended to keep family tree records.

>>575224

And you call yourself a /his/ poster.

My last name literally appears from nowhere in the 1800s to an Italian Redshirt who apparently has no parents. It's pretty cool being the only person to ever have my [full] name though. As of today there are only about 20 people on the planet with my last name.

If it's on my father's side, then the irish dude is a sailor.

>Before then only aristocrats tended to keep family tree records.
Untrue. Well, technically true in that aristocrats were the only ones who would personally keep a copy of their family tree on hand, but there are all sorts of public records that you can use to trace this stuff. Although it's a pain in the arse to find it because it was all done on the parish level - as you said national records only date back around 200 years - but nowadays a lot of old ledgers are being scanned and put on the internet.

Even as far back as the medieval period there are copious records - particularly anything involving the church. Monks were surprisingly obsessive about paperwork. So you can trace baptisms, marriages, and funerals, which is all you really need for tracing ancestry anyway. Wills were the other major document which would often be preserved, and again are a good way of tracing family history because family members feature fairly heavily in them.

Apart from that, there are all sorts of record-keeping odds and ends which have been preserved over the centuries. One of my ancestors is referenced in the early 16th century in an argument over an overdue library book.

You'd better enjoy learning Latin if you want to look into this stuff though. And I'm not talking about nice, neat classical Latin. Medieval and post-medieval latin as practised by the local monk/notary was about as orderly as pre-18th century English spelling.

dad just discovered some old map from 1756. which shows who owns which piece of land (don't know how to say it in english) and it shows a guy with the same name and last name as mine. Basically, that's the oldest mention I know of, and that piece of land is where my father was born. Think that's kind of cool, my ancestors haven't moved for centuries, keeping that piece of land as their heritage. There's a mention of that guy's father in some books, so I guess it goes even further than 1756, but we haven't found it yet. They were most likely peasants, nothing spectacular.

Well on full paternal side im a swabian. My ancestors arrived into southwestern Hungary in the 18th century, they had their own tobacco farm here.
Family of grandmother on father side is mostly made of a big old hungarian peasant family, and there is a little most propably southslavic in it. That family is called Modrovic, we dont really know the exact origin.
Grandfather of my mother fled to Hungary in WW2 because of the partizan bombing of Yugoslavia. If I remember right, it was his grandmother who was a Jellacic. Famous croatian family

Maternal grandmother side is mostly peasant from southwestern hungary again, with a little swabian and also got a noblefamily there. Also one of my ancestor was being helped out, and got "raised" by a famous hungarian poet Berzsenyi Dániel.
