Come home.
Maternal side
>Grandfather's family just a bunch of scottish and english immigrants to Canada. Many drunks, some hippie native degenerate wannabees. Grandfather is a conservative John-Wanye loving Ameriboo.
>Grandmother's side are metis, gamblers and drinkers. Ancestors fought with Louis Riel ,
>Great Great Grandfather was a trapper in the Yukon territory, stabbed a bear in the face to kill it, but lost an eye in the process. In a very old photo, the guy looked like a character straight out of The Revenant.
>Great Grandmother was adopted by from a convent by the Trapper, as she was a metis abandoned in the nunnery
>Great uncle managed to survive 4 seperate ship sinkings in the second world war, and ironically was killed in a boat crash in Lake-of-the-Woods
Paternal Side
>Great great grandparents were Tuscan immigrants who fled Italy after my GG Grandpa, while serving as deputy in the small town they were from, shot and killed the son of a mafia boss. Had to change their names and flee the country to Chicago, where they remained.
>Great Grandmother lived 107 years (1908-2015), and lived next to Al Capone for quite some time. Her 3 brothers were blown up in the Pacific during WW2. Her husband was an orphan in Hull House, and his brother fell into a vat of boiling tomatoes and was cooked to death.
>Grandpa's side is little known, probably slavic-swiss shits who immigrated. Notorious for having violent temperaments (probably due to a anxiety disorder that I can trace back from my brother to my dad to my grandpa etc).
>Grandpa was honorably discharged after he threw a fellow soldier out of a 5 story window and killed him, allegedly due to the fact that he tried to molest my grandfather whilst he was sleeping
>Nothing else known, but there's rumors that our last name is notorious in southern wisconsin, due to the possibility of my great grandfather having many many children outside of wedlock in the area.
My history is lame
>>1013679
Kek I figured, but I like shitting on grandma.
Well essentially my grandpa was a german diplomat (not a full ambassador tho), and he married a bitch of a french maid who had run away from dreary life in the french countryside. He had a boy and four daughters, and they basically split one each into every country grandpa worked in, with various levels of personal success (uncle is a fucking hippie with a lifetime of temp jobs behind him and now lives in Brazil, aunt 1 married a working class frenchman and is a housewife, aunt 2 married a german doctor and is a doctor herself, mom is a teacher an married herself a rich italian businessman, aunt 3 is a spinster professor in some shit ass US college). Family reunions are battlegrounds and my dad got into fights with everyone but the german doctor. When grandpa dies no one is ever gonna hear about each other ever again, grandma better hope she dies first.

>Daddy's family were kind of lower middle class farmers. Just rich enough to send their son to university
>Mommy's side is mostly dutch with some germans here and there, immigrated to the US in the 17th century (says grandpa, the oldest documents I have are late 19th century)
Kinda boring. Finding out more stuff is hard because dad never gave a shit about his family history and his parents are dead, and on the other side grandpa has already tried to dig shit up but the trail dies in the 19th century.

>family lived on Indian reservation despite having 0 Native American ancestors
>father raised in New Mexico, mother raised in St. Paul
>parents meet in St. Paul in the 80s and have me
I wish I knew more about my ancestors but records disappear after 2 or 3 generations, everything mostly stops around the mid 1800s or sooner. I did genetic tests that say I'm mostly NW European (British, French/German, and Scandinavian) with trace regions including Southern and Eastern European, European Jewish, possibly Middle Eastern but nothing very specific. I assume they were all lowly European peasants but it'd be nice to know more about regions they came from.

From dad's side:
>Venezuelan since 1800s, mostly of Galician stock, great-grandma was an Italian-speaking Corsican though.
>Relative ruled Venezuela as glorious caudillo warlord in late 1800s-early 1900s. Overthrown by a general of his when he went to Paris to treat syphilis because he too was a pimp.

23andme is accurate but highly nonspecific. IE, "you are 43.3% eastern European, 18.6% Irish, 15.4% southern European, XX percent east Asian, XX percent Ashkenazi." It's only really worth it if you have serious questions about your heritage.

G-grandma tailored flags and uniforms for soldiers in WWI, saved a wounded German soldier and got pregnant with him. She died in labor.
Grandma with her younger sister stayed at an aunt's farm and helped there. Grandma did the same job as her mother in WW2, inherited the farm and married a police captain whose unit was the first to respond to the terrorist attack in Piazza Fontana.
Mom and aunt were the first in the family to afford university. Mom owned a pharmacy, then was a secretary in various city offices. She's retired now.
>dad side
Great grandparents had a fruit shop
Grandpa was a mail inspector, grandma was a secretary. Grandpa was drafted in WW2, got caught by the Germans, was shipped around Europe in concentration camps until the Americans freed him. He was the marconist (guy with the telephone box who yells for reinforcements) and the only survivor of his unit.
Dad was a city employee then a phone company manager. He was forced to retire to make way for younger, better connected people. He didn't get shit for two years thanks to our government's retarded welfare policies.

" Iranian-Americans are far more numerous in the United States than census data indicate and are among the most highly educated people in the country, according to research by the Iranian Studies Group, an independent academic organization, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The group estimates that the actual number of Iranian-Americans may top 691,000 -- more than twice the figure of 338,000 cited in the 2000 U.S. census. According to the latest census data available, more than one in four Iranian-Americans holds a master's or doctoral degree, the highest rate among 67 ethnic groups studied."

I am an American mutt desu. A lot of Irish, but a lot of other shit too. I am 6ft tall with blonde hair and blue eyes so I guess it worked out alright, but I really don't like America, especially in its present state. All the consumerist culture sucks, and I hate the party culture. It sucks having no real cultural roots, if I was straight Irish I would go to Ireland but Im not and I don't want to muddy up genetics.

My maternal grandmother always said she was descended from Admiral Lord Cochrane, but nobody really believed her, dunno why. Still lots of people in my family have been sailors at some point, and her husband (my grandfather) died aboard a submarine in WWII
>>1023837
>Admiral Lord Cochrane
The absolute madman
>One of his most notable exploits was the capture of the Spanish xebec frigate El Gamo on 6 May 1801. El Gamo carried 32 guns and 319 men, compared with Speedy's 14 guns and 54 men.[10][11] Cochrane flew an American flag and approached so closely to El Gamo that its guns could not depress to fire on the Speedy's hull. The Spanish tried to board and take over the ship but, whenever they were about to board, Cochrane pulled away briefly and fired on the concentrated boarding parties with his ship's guns. Eventually, Cochrane boarded El Gamo and captured her, despite being outnumbered about five to one.

As far as i know:
Father:
All persons of family from thuringia (at least as far as early 1700, then we dont know more).
One great grandfather in Verdun, survived. Other one lucky, too young for ww1, to old for ww2, only guard duty.
Grandfather died in his midtwenties of Hotchkins Disease (around 1955-60).
Mother:
My grandfather one of 6 children. Greatgrandfather died in Stalingrad. Nothing much else is known to me.
My grandmothers father was sailor under dutch flag (but german citizen). As far as i know started sailing as 16 year old. which meant that he went away in 1912. During the war he was in polynesia or another island in the pacific. probably knocked some girls up during ww1, because he couldnt leave. then, he came back with a few thousand gulden (the "hardest" valuta in these days. Lent it to some family memeber, got it back in Mark, then depression hits.
My grandmother said something that one part of the family is from france, although i didnt see any documents about that.
All of my grandparents had the Arierbeweis, funny, considering my grandfather looked in his young years like a stereotypical jew, and now just looks like an old turk.
Sidenote, my fathers uncle was a tanker during ww2 on the eastern front. survived it and lived untill the 80-90ies in eastern germany.
My grandad was the youngest of 13 siblings in a farm and they called him Fortunato (Lucky). He was the last of his family to die so I guess it worked.

My mom's side is pretty interesting, but this post is already too long. Scots who sided with the king during the English civil war and we're sent to the west indies after. Eventually come back and rewarded for loyalty, given some office or another.

Everyone with the surname 陳 (Chen/Tan/Tam) of Zhangzhou, Fujian, China, and their descendants in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines are related to him. There's probably a million of us right now.

Fathers side are old Finnish land owners. Our family estate is still being used. Grandfathers father fought for the whites in the civil war, i'm named after him.
Mothers side are wealthy land owners as well. Grandfather wasn't allowed to fight in the second world war because he was a factory owner and was bitter about it for the rest of his life.
Grandmothers mother was going to move to the U.S but her sister stole her tickets and she had to stay in Finland.
Writing this down i realize how bourgeoisie my family was.

My ancestor on my father's side participates in the American Revolutionary War as a Hessian, learns a bit of English. He apparently had some reservations about the British, but I'm not quite sure how we know about that. He survives throughout the war and settles in America. His descendants later moved to Indiana.
My ancestors on my mother's side participated in the the 1848 Revolutions in Germany, specifically the Palatine uprising. He later flees to America and becomes one of the Forty-Eighters. His descendants settled in Wisconsin, and then later moved to Indiana and Ohio.
A few things I do know:
One of my father's ancestors fought in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Second Opium War.
They participated in the Cincinnati riot of 1853 and the protests of 1854.
Ancestors from both sides served as apart of the Union in the Civil War, one on my mother's side was a member of the 1st U.S. Sharpshooters, and one on my father's side men served in the 9th Wisconsin, 32nd Indiana, and 9th Ohio.
Many of my ancestors apparently served and died in World War 1, around 6 of them left and 2 of them came home. My direct ancestor was a Marine.
My great grandfather as a pilot in the US Army Air Force and then in Korea as apart of the US Air Force.
My grandfather fought in Vietnam as a Marine.
My father was a pilot in the Air Force during the Gulf War, Panama, and Bosnia/Kosovo. Not sure if he ever fought in any of those theaters.
I have a piloting license and am currently aiming for a spot as a naval aviator.

I don't know the specifics of my ancestry, but one thing I found kinda funny is that I am descended from every group of people on the British Isles but the English. I got some Irish, Northern-Irish, Scottish, and Welsh in me. No English whatsoever though, Beyond that it's just some French and German ancestry.

So do you have a Venezuelan passport? Or did your dad just bang lots of Venezuelan culo before moving back for some Portuguese bunda (i.e. your mom)?
Just asking 'cause one of my best friends is Venezuelan, and it still seems like a random place to end up. My friend hasn't lived there for 15 years though... His mother is standard brown-skinned euro-indian mix creole, but his father was the descendent of a pair of Russian-Greek (ethnic Greeks from southern Russia) middle-class families, who fled the Reds in the 1920s and ended up, somehow, in Venezuela.
He and his family later fled basket-case Venezuela for Canada.

family history revisionism, which is basically always a tautology anyway. I mean... family histories have seeds of truth, but are embellished and changed to suit circumstances as they get passed down all the time.
Anyway, my maternal grandfather is descendent of a Hessian officer who fought in the revolutionary war. He was actually already living in the US (New Jersey) for a few years, but was from Hessen, so when all his countrymen showed up, he joined them. Was given land in Canada later on, which is where I am.

I can't get more specific than that without ancestry.com or ellis island bullshit, I think there's records somewhere in the family, but I don't have em on hand. In short, I'm a south slav mutt bohunk.

They seem accurate, only look at distant genetic information (like, greater than a few centuries). It will tell you where your ancestral populations originated, but little to nothing about recent activity/migrations.
23&me is the only one I've done, it's reliable but not specific. Like >>1016521 said it gives you broad strokes, but not specific regions or nationalities usually. But they'll give you your raw data that you can then run your own test results with on other sites.
I've heard National Geographic is good, I might try that one next. I'm not satisfied because most of mine just says "Broadly northern European". Ancestry.com also has one which is even more vague than 23&me.

It still exists in the far east, but it's 'Jewish' in name only and a small exile population who aren't religious at all. Soviets at some point thought it could be a homegrown alternative to Zionism and shut up its Jews, but after setting it up (lol, here's your virgin subarctic forest Jews. Have fun, lol. Bye) they quickly forgot about it and let Jews leave the USSR anyway.
I know primarily my patrilineal line, back to about 1100 for sure, and about 860 by myth. We were pretty much English knights and burghers until we immigrated to New England in the mid-17th century. Soon after we moved to the South, and were middle-class there as well. My dad's family stayed there until moving west in the 1950s. My latest immigrant to America on any side of my family was my great great grandmother who immigrated from Germany in the 1880s and married an Anglo-American. On my mother's side, the whole family was also originally from England. That side of the family was full of pioneers and religious nuts (same thing amirite), up until my grandfather who was a gold prospector in California until soon after my mother was born in the late 1950s (though he had served in the Navy from 1937-1945).
I do know my ancestors fought for the American side of the revolution, and on both sides of the civil war. We have a pretty meticulous "family bible" that records our family tree back a looong way.
