My ancestors were busy being English noblemen.

Farming and fighting wars.

Paternally my ancestors were Swiss Catholic farmers from the canton Obwalden, then Unterwalden I believe.

Maternally I have a more diverse selection of ancestors. On the Italian side they were probably poor Southern Italians. On the Portuguese side they were sailing the world, going to Brazil to rape sexy naked Amerindians. But of course on the Amerindian side they were getting raped, but also having fun living in a society with no clothes.

Dude, the people of the Andes were pretty badass. Some even think they had dedicated farms where they created better crops and techniques for growing food like pic related.

Franks were shit tier at everything but conquest.

Maternally I am descended from Brabander farmers, so they were probably ass-deep in Spaniards.

Paternally it's shoemakers from Birmingham at least as far back as 1700, so it's not a stretch to think they were still doing it 200 years earlier.

Dad heritage
The only thing that i know is that they were some random kabyle farmer

mucking about in the dirt of Scotland

Subsistence farming, which they would continue to do until passing the Court exams around the 1700s, becoming scholars and military officials. Though a good chunk of the family still remained as farmers in the mountains.

All I know is at some point a Bonafoux made his way to Puerto Rico in the 19th century, so probably dirt farming in france or something during he 1500s.

My we wuz Ancient Ashanti side? I've got no clue what they were doing, but my great great grandmother said we actually wuz kangz. Too bad she died before I could ask her to elaborate.

>1500
>500 years ago
>assume 1 generation = 25 years on average
>21 generations

So I (and all of you) have as many as 2^20=1,048,576 direct ancestors alive at that time. Of course we all have much less than that, since people marry their distant (or not so distant) cousins, but it's safe to say we all have thousands, and it's extremely likely we all have at least a few in common.

So everyone talking about "their family" is full of shit. I mean, you may be descended from those people you know about, but you're also descended from countless other people. And you're no more related to them than you are to a stranger.

And Hungary-Bohemia. Bohemia was conquered in 1470s I think.

Hungary became centralised under the rule of King Matyas, but after his death the noble got too much power again, they elected a czeh prince and let the Kingdom degrade, until the Ottomans utterly destroyed in in 1526.

Fucking damn it, I'm a burger myself but come the fuck on.

OT :
My mom's side is descended from Swiss/Kraut poorfags and refugees who came to North Carolina with Christoph von Graffenreid. Been living in Eastern NC for generations. Pic related.

Dad's side is way murkier. Probably scots or irish originally, but thoroughly americanized far enough back to lose that identity. 1800s until recently they were poor farmers of some kind or other in central NC. His generation shifted toward white trash, but my cousin and my brother and I will most likely bring the line up the socioeconomic ladder.

My ancestors were farmers who left the Rhineland for Ireland in 1709, so I imagine they were probably just farming and shit in Germany somewhere

defending serbia from kebab

>>906506
Probably farming mud in some backwater shithole in brittany/normandy, poortugal and germany.

Perhaps fishing for the former 3 if they were lucky. For all I know, they might very well have been somewhere else at the time, but I guess life as peasant was probably more or less the same wherever you were.

>>906506
My father's side of the family has owned the same plot of land since 1408 (allegedly well before that, but welp no proofs), so minor landowners.
My mother's side I can't even trace to the 19th century, nevermind 1500.

Dads side is scottish and irish monks and cityfolk who where angry about everything

Moms side where bohemian innkeepers

How the fuck do you even trace your family into 16th century without being a descendant of some nobles who actually kept family tree tapestries and shit like that?

I have no fucking idea who were my great-great-grandparents

>>908979
I mean, specifically my family has a genealogy that dates back to the Magna Carta.

We're pretty inbred.

hard to say. My family has traced themselves back to being French Nobility (which sickens me, because I do not like the French) La Fayette was the name, (doesn't get more french than that) My guess was they were swimming in the people of france's money. up until the french revolution where they fled to Italy and eventually Sicily which is where my Mother comes from.

>>926148
Church books have records all the way to the 16th century.

>>906506
Paternal: Some Scots who farmed, and probably some English who farmed too.

Maternal: Lots of German farmers around Worlitz, and one random Sardinian.

Notice a pattern?

Sailors and cannon fodder for the greatest empire to exist.
