You Americans have so much fun doing genealogy, since you find that you have relatives from all over Europe. All we can hope to prove is that we have less consanguinity a few generations back, than those peasants from the next village.

I got high grade DNA. Non-inbred Nordic. As if my skull and intelligence didn't convince you.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Robert Harper, born in Belfast in 1717... why oh why did you have to emigrate to Philadelphia in 1727 and ultimately become my great great great great great great grandfather!? :weep:

Ok, that's it... I'm not doing any more genealogy work. :mad:

:nelson:

edit: I have a smattering of Scots-Irish mixed in with my grandma's Scottish background (Clan McAlpine representin'), but I prefer to think they were just all Scots who temporarily lived in Ireland.

Church records for my Y chromosome lineage only go back 10 generations for me. After that it's down to annals, self-serving geneaologies and eventually, sagas.

Church records here usually don't go much further than the 18th. century. Having 10 generations of them is fairly rare.

You puffin fucking Westman Islands inbred.  ;)
