Damn...

and their jiggly boobies would be all around, thats how fertility was so high those days

I am sold.

That's what she said, incidentally.

but peasants were pretty ugly tbh

in those days

what'd you say about my grandma?

only aristocracy was beautiful and fatalistic in love

hey i don't shoot me

Live fast and die forever young one.

my ancestors were all shepherds peasants and rebels

Though the oldest ancestor on my mother's side was some kind of prince methinks

but that was like 700 years ago

I think most families have similar stories. I don't know what's big talking family myths and what's an actual hit on the ancestry.com. But hey, many kingships fell and many regals and nobles really got some tail.

it doesn't matter. you are your ancestors.

i can be pretty much sure until the 18th century as far as my father's family tree goes

because it's a seriously and objectivelly collected, and the area they settled was quite small and compact, easy to assemble

all people known etc

but beyond that everything is shady and unknown

Same here, actually. Past that point into the past, I don't even know if I can trust some random databases associations anymore.

genealogy/dna tests are only good for finding out if you have something unpleasant in there. that's why i got mine. had to put to bed this fucking native american ancestor rumour that i'm sure many of you are familiar with. also wanted to see if i echoed at all (i don't)

im kinda not interested in paying for that since i think chances are very slim that i have foreign blood

obviously, coming from SE Europe DNA would probably show general mix of this area

yeah don't bother unless you have some annoying boomers constantly telling you your grandpa fucked a feather

But up until 20th century this was a very secluded area, where peple would marry into a village next door

@Gil O'Teen 3/4 OF AMERIND ADMIXTURE STORIES AMONG WHITES ARE 100% NONSENSE

LIKE, PEOPLE SAID THIS STUFF TO SEEM COOL IN THE DAY

@Gil O'Teen I've got that. It's annoying AF LOL

THERE IS A LOT OF IT

IGNORE

I don't see why would you be concerned if you were 1/16 Indian ?

well i have proof so i have better than ignoring: mockery and boasting!

Is that a problem ?

Again, same here. We all have that one grandparent who is insistent even though they don't expect to be taken seriously. I knew it was bullshit because I live in Georgia and my grandmother insisted that her ancestors walked the trail of tears. I told her that we're still in Georgia. Maybe the ancestor was one of the soldiers? She would have none of it. From my grandfather, he insisted we had echoes in the blood. His argument was that there was some "stein" or "schwitz" or whatever. His family was Prussian before they moved here. Also, we're Catholic.

@The Enlightened Shepherd only if it begins to lead to decay through regressive averages. We do share 15% of their genome so it might not be so bad.

@-A My grandfather used to tell my mom: there's a nigger in the woodpile somewhere. I didn't assume anything until much later when I figured out he was talking about my dad's side of the family. I doubt he meant African blood, just non-white.

He hated my father BTW

That can lead to some drastic libel.

you mean if your partner also has 1/16 amerindian blood

and they start to slowly recover ?

When there is significant difference between two lineages and therefore, conflict (or competition) in genomic expression, it leads to degeneration of the bloodline by requiring traits to be bred away, devaluing the overall quality of children down the line until the coast is clear.
