Not that I'm an expert in Irish history, or even that knowledgeable about the Celtic people, but I understand quite a few Irish have "Viking Norse" DNA circulating through their arteries and veins.... Apparently a lot of Russians do too. And for those who believe in the ethnic/racial "superiority" of the "Nordic ideal" (You know--platinum blonde hair and blue/light colored eyes...Basically Hitler's "wet dream"), if you go far enough back, even THEY had ancestors that probably looked a little too "colorful" for them.

@EmmaLanik13 9 дней назад

There are approximately 200,000,000 million people that are distantly related to robert the bruce....it is said that 1 billion people are decended from charlemane. The further back you go, the far more likely you are decended from someone noteworthy. So basically if you are of european ancestry, you are desended from some royal house somewhere. Along with 200,000,000 others who can claim the same ancestry.

I have loved doing family history since I was a teenager and found my granny’s birthday notebook. When doing my husbands family tree some familiar names cropped up. We have a common ancestor. His father is descended from the elder son, my mother from the younger son. We are cousins 13 times removed. What’s funny is that we met in one country, both coming from other countries. We ARE all connected to each other in a way. I can claim James III of Scotland as an ancestor. Along with 50% of Scotland. Jamie got about a bit. We can all only be 100% sure of our matriarchal lineage. Such is life. Great video.😊

Correct story… being a Dutchman but descendent from Scottish King Malcolm in my father’s and mother’s family tree line… nobility was like a “cast -system” in the Middle ages (and easy to trace back from earlier than 1600 whenever you find link, before that there are not so many records for the rest of the population). The nobility also started to mingle with the “common people” , first in the 16th-17th century when the “bourgeoisie” became richer by trade (and becoming poorer after again). So my family tree is made up by famers and nobility and many more, genes and social inheritance do mix eventually… thankfully.

I have Ross, MacKenzie, and Donaldson (or clan MacDonald) and even Stewart in my genealogy though I can't trace my roots extremely far back.

@@joughnut496 I doubt that. I'm from Jamaica and in the time of slavery, slaves were given new names when they arrived on plantations. In most cases, all the slaves on the plantation were given the same last name as their master and as a result, my last name is pretty popular, even in Jamaica. I am mixed race but it's mostly in my mother's family line and father's maternal line so I still have a quite popular last name. No Johnson in the family also, oopsie :)

@Manie230 3 года назад

Slothster 0612 if you’re called Müller/miller it’s very likely that one of your ancestors was in fact working in a mill. Many German last names refer to the job people had in the Middle Ages. Müller = Miller someone who worked in a mill. Fischer = fisher pretty self explanatory Schreiner = Carpenter So yeah many German last names just refer to jobs and this makes finding an ancestor very hard. I just checked and it seems like my last name originated in Switzerland. Some royals were called similar and one website says that over time my last name evolved from that. So this makes it even more complicated to find my ancestors given that I only know my grandparents and after my great grandparents the trail ist lost.

that's because the "magne" isn't actually part of his name, it stems from the latin word for "great" (like in "magna carta", or "magnum condoms"), because he was dubbed "charles (or carl) the great". in dutch for example he's called "Karel de grote"

I was continually told by my late aunt on my mother's side that my maternal Great-Great Grandmother's family were very wealthy, coming from nobility. However, we have reached a dead-end with her mother (my Great-Great-Great Grandmother) as it looks like she was likely illegitimate and we can't find a record of her birth or baptism (born 1812 in Wales.) This is very much a work in progress. A relative of mine on my paternal side has informed me that my Great-Great Grandfather emigrated from Lancashire in the 19thc to work in North America and fought the on the side of the Yankees at the Battle of Gettysburg. So I was told, his son Nathan who was a twelve year old little drummer boy, was shot and killed at that Battle. Another of my relatives (also from Lancashire) took his family to work in Massachusetts. It transpires that they had tickets to sail on the Titanic (second-class) but at the last minute the White-Star Line informed them that there had been an "administrative mix-up" one week before they were due to sail and they were switched to another ship... My genealogy studies have lead me to take qualifications in history, to study basic genealogy skills and to take an interest in the history of the place that I was born and grown up-in which has given me a bit of help. You will be absolutely amazed at what you find when pulling down the undiscovered branches of your family tree. Some of it will make you sad, some will make you happy. 👍

I’m actually a direct descendant of Charlemagne, I’ve got a document tracing the lineage. He’s one my 35th great grandfathers. The document goes from me to my mom to her father all the way up to Charlemagne and Hildegarde of Savoy and through their son Louis the Pious, The document has data in the location and year of the birth and deaths of each person. That part of my family got to the United States in 1634 and 1679 in Virginia through a man named Richard Walmesley who is my 10th great grandfather. We’ve got some other documents that show the links between my family and other historical figures like many of the presidents through marriage and in laws. It’s obviously not as cool as blood relation, but it is really fascinating to see how small the world really is and how you fit into the greater context of human history through connections to important figures.

Hello, fellow Romanians. Our geographic position in Europe actually makes our family trees quite interesting. First off, thanks to the fact that Transylvania's been occupied by Hungarians for so long, we got a lot of genes from the West(Austrians, Germans, Polish people, and many other if we keep taking it like this). Then we have the Eastern side, Moldova, which has been more affected by Russians, Ukrainians and Huns. Together with Walachia, they've bumped into the Turks and Greeks as well, but also Northern Africans, who have been taken away by the Ottoman Empire. This being said, you could be related to Baiazid, Genghis Khan, Austrian nobles, and so on. The family names changed a lot, so looking deep into this might be harder

So not really, and it’s only history of my family of when we arrived in America, (we’ve been here for that long and in the same state and same part of the state too), never once does it brush up on the European side of the families history. We came from Ireland and were apparent nobles. We were some sort of stewards. Either keeping records for the Kings court or running one of his properties. Or some sort of nobility. I’d love to research more on it, visit Ireland, Scotland and England one day. Where the families roots originate. I know we also have some Norman in us. We fled in the 1690s, as I stated.

Having in consideration that the passing down of last names had diferent rules depending on country, region or era, if there were any at all. It is actually not easy lol I have traced my family to the 1800's and the last names have changed constantly because of this. (When people had last names at all)
