MY Ancestor where from the Iberian peninsula a mix of Moorish-Castilian and cross the Atlantic at the age of the Colonization after the end of the Reconquista. My grandfather paid to have the test when from your blood you can find from where you came

Well it's really basic, apart from what genetic group you are from it doesn't tell you much => well in Spain it's pretty easy, there is a distincition between moors and europeans. Not so much in eastern and central europe, I for one have genes that link me to ancient european people, even though I'm part German, part Szekler (A Turkic people who were present during the Avar period of the Carpathian basin) part Hungarian. And the funny thing is all three of them originated outside Europe according to current historical evidence.

Turcomans who settled in Central Anatolia in several places like Afyon and Kirsehir

[Babri]

I am the descendant of Babur (and possibly of Genghis Khan through his maternal side ), founder of the Mughal Empire. Mughal Empire ruled most of the sub-continent at its peak & had 1/4th share of the world's GDP.

Father's Side:

Grandfather: he is of Portuguese ancestry. His grandfather lived in Guimarães, northern Portugal, where the family had been living in for generations. We are descendents of Dom Paio Soares Pinto, an 11th century Portuguese knight influential in the court of the Dukes of Portugal. It's one of the oldest and most prestigious noble families, although by the 19th century we were just relatively poor commoners. Fun fact: when my great-great-grandfather came to Brazil, he brought along his brother with him. However, the brother disembarked in Rio, while my ancestor in Santos. The two branches of Pinto would not meet until the next generation. A member of the Rio branch was Minister of Justice. I still have family in Guimarães and one of my "cousins" was elected mayor some time ago.

Grandmother: We have a genealogical tree going back ten generations (17/18th century) although we have information prior to this. Accordingly, the first Abbud was a Christian living in Cappadocia. The Abbud had to leave due to political pressures of Ottoman Sultan Selim II in 1566. They went to Armenia (Cilician) and eventually went down to Homs, in Syria. The first recorded ancestor is named Butrus. He fathered several children; the eldest one called Elias. Elias named his son Butrus and he named his Elias. Then came another Butrus (who is not my ancestor anymore), but he only fathered a daughter, who he insisted on calling Elias. The record ends here, as the females don't count. The Abbuds had a Muslim and a Christian branch. The Christian family moved to Brazil in the late 19th century and Mathilde, daughter of my great-great-grandfather Liam, married an Ackel (no idea from where they are).

Mother's side:

Grandfather: Entirely Italian. My great-great-grandfather moved in from Calabria (Southwestern Italian peninsula). We were peasents, but the family were once nobles since we have a coat-of-arms.

Grandmother: Some dudes came over from Lebanon, more specifically Tyre, in the early 1900's. They didn't even now where Brazil was, but they got a ship anyways.

I'm from almost exclusively Germanic stock. Family name derives from the area of southern Baden/northern Switzerland, and emigrated here in the late 1600s when they got kicked out of Bern for being Anabaptists. Another was from the Coburg area. I have one sliver of unknown Norwegian ancestry, and a small sliver of ancestry from Holland, some of whom were the original settlers of New York.

Paternal
As stated before, my family name originates in Baden or northern Switzerland. My grandfather's father's family has been in America since the 17th Century after getting kicked out of Switzerland for being Anabaptists (predecessors of the Mennonites, among others). Also a branch in there from the Netherlands who were some of the original settlers of New York. My grandfather's mother's family quite literally walked out of the woods in Norway and came to America. We know nothing about them prior to that.

My grandmother's family is 100% German. Her father's father emigrated from the Coburg area in the 1880s, and her mother's father emigrated from the Leipzig area in the 1870s.

Materal
My mother's family is a bit more complicated, and obscure. The family names both come from Germany, with a twist of Irish going on on my grandmother's mother's side of things.

Deutschland uber alles, I guess...

[Namorath]

I'm your typical American mutt:

Paternal:
Grandfather was Italian. His parents came over from Bari around the turn of the century.
Grandmother was Irish, English, and Cherokee.

Maternal:
Grandmother was Polish. Her parents came over from southern Poland (someplace owned by Austria, as on the papers they first wrote "Poland" then crossed it out and wrote "Austria," but we know they were Polish).
Grandfather was half Irish and half English.

[Makrell]

My ancestry is actually quite blue-blooded. I don't know why, but by great-grandmother on the maternal side (I think), was of noble blood. A local historian wrote a compendium about my grandfather's ancestry some years ago. The results were quite awesome. There were kings and other rulers from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, England, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Aragon, Novgorod, The Byzantine Empire and Italy (just the ones I remember). Some examples were Alexios Komnenos and Duke Leopold of Austria (the 3rd crusade one). The oldest one was King Berengar II of Italy (10th century)

i am inclined to ask if you by any chance are called christian or fredrik, with your father being named the opposite.
also awesome being royalty, who is your oldest danish/swedish/norwegian ancestor who were a reigning king?

[The Awesome Boy]

Paternal
Grandfather: From Lublin. Served in the Armia Krajowa, the underground Polish resistance during WW2 when he was 16, fighting both Nazis and Communists. After that, arrested by Communist authorities. Was released when Communist leader Wladyslaw Gomulka granted amnesty to the AK soldiers.

Grandmother: From Kovel (In Volhynia region, Once part of Poland, now part of Ukraine). Half Ukrainian, half Polish and Roman Catholic. When the Soviet army advanced into Kovel in 1944, she fled Ukraine and moved to Chełm. She later moved to Lublin in 1959, where she met my grandfather.

Maternal
My mother's family has a bit complicated history, she's from Galway though.

Hungary, Czech Republic, England, Anglo-Irish, French, and German
