Nothing noteworthy here as far as I know I'm afraid - so I'll just pull the badass viking card I guess.

Ayy.

My side? Heh, well, my auntie did a family tree going back nearly two hundred and fifty years or so. It appears my family has been in the military for almost the whole time, with ancestors fighting in the Napoleonic Wars, World War One, World War two and so on. Just listed three of the main ones. I can post more if anyone is interested.

My Great Cousin was part of the Canadian Black Watch during ww2. He landed at Dieppe and survived unharmed and got away. He later landed on D-day plus 2 where mates of his asked why he didn't go in on D-day. To his day he still gives the same answer "I had enough bullets at Dieppe, it was your turn to share them out this time"

No so much an ancestor as he is a family connection is Lieuteant General Sir Steuart Robert Pringle, 10th Baronet, KCB, DSC, RM was my mother's god father. He was seriously injured in an IRA car bomb but survived. He's name is immortalized in Royal Marine history and there is currently a trophy named the Pringle Trophy in his honour that british CCF cadets compete for every year. I'm actually commanding my local CCF team this year so I hope to do him proud.

Unfortunately my knowledge of my family starts with WW2, but i do know that my ancestors used to live in Silesia.

Well, one of my siblings managed to trace my lineage quite a far way to I believe Eleanor of Aquitaine... > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Aquitaine and then farther back to Richard the Lionheart. Of course those were pretty distant connections. Closer to modern day, I am related to this fella > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Peden who's last name actually shared my grandmother's maiden name so I guess I'm a straight shot from either Alexander Peden or one of his close family members.

On a side note, the same sibling mentioned before apparently discovered that we could murder something like, 320 people and inherit the throne of Britain XD

My first ancestor in America arrived in the early 1600s. I don't recall his name :/ He grew tobacco in town and was murdered during a Native raid within a few years. His three sons then decided to come to America from Britain to inherit what the father had left, and to move the rest of the family eventually to America. Some how or another one of their descendants ended up in Georgia I believe because he failed to pay some sort of tax, or held debt with someone. So he was either sent to Georgia legally because of tax evasion, or he fled to Georgia because of money he owed someone. Not quite sure on that one.

The other side of my family popped up somewhere up north and received land in the same county I currently live in for service in the Revolutionary War.

During the Civil War, most of my family served for the Confederacy. I'm sure some might have hopped on over to the Union, but most were pro-south. I don't know a whole lot about them. I know one was partial native American and had survived the war. He was later shot in the back by carpet baggers for his former service in the war.

I know I have Cherokee a few generations back, and thats about it. I guess thats just your average American ancestry.

I had a great grandfather who served in the 1st Infantry Division during World War 2, Korea, and later in Vietnam as a military advisor to some of the mountain natives who fought the Vietcong. He left as a master sergeant I believe, with three bronze stars, two purple hearts, and countless other campaign medals and awards. He passed away in 2004

I have a grandfather who is still with us who served on the USS Gilbert Islands during World War 2 in the Pacific. Prior to that, he was part of the detail that went into the unusable ships after Pearl Harbor and retrieved anything of value (as well as dozens of corpses :/ ). I also know that he was part of the first wave of experimental radarmen during the war.

Another grandfather served for a few years in the marines leading up to Vietnam.

I also have at least three members of my extended family in active duty.

Nearly all the European side of my family is nobility. We still have our coat of arms,some have contact with family over in Europe, etc. We come from a man that fought for William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. He was a Breton crossbowman was apart of a very prominent family in Brittany. I've traced his line all the way back to the Roman Invasion of Britain. Queen Elizabeth II is my 22nd cousin 4x removed.

i'll fite u 4 that dam throne, boy.

King Melungeon for Britain!!!!
