Who
are my ancestors?
At some point, don't we all ask this question? When I was a kid,
I wondered about this all the time. Was I related to a famous
hero? Maybe a knight or a king... Last year, I set out to answer
this question and see what I could find out. With the help of
ancestry.com I was able to trace an astounding length of my family
tree, and this is what I found.
Like most of us, I can't claim any one single group, or nation,
as my ancestors. There were, in fact, many. As I traced my roots
back through time, I found ancestors from Ireland, Scotland, England,
France, Denmark and Norway. Many were from a long line of Viking
Kings. I was amazed as I was able to go back still further and
find Roman Emperors. All these results were just from tracing
a few of the many branches of my family tree. Below I list some
of the "notables" from the list. I've even included
a few links so you can read about them. If you know of links to
any of those below that don't have any, please contact me.
Dad,
thanks for all the help. This page is for you.
