    I'm (apparently) of Cornish stock. So from perhaps one of the oldest peoples of Britain, Celtic.

    We held off the Saxons, the Vikings, the Romans, the Normans, and urban hip-hop culture. Not to be messed with.

      Yep, it says something when you smell so bad Vikings won't come near you....

        Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states of India is my guess.

        Probably descended from both the Indo-Aryan and the Dravidian people and perhaps the Indus valley civilization.

        Idk if I was descended from Arabs though my mother's family is Islamic.

          German, Cherokee, French, English, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch. Probably other stuff but I don't know. The ones in my family who do all the ancestry research don't share a whole lot.

            Me, hands down Roman! As Romance speaker (The direct linguistic inheritors, and I argue in limited measure that Romance speaking peoples are it's cultural inheritors), I tend to relate to a lot to anything that has to do with Romans. And the best part about it? ANYONE can be Roman! Fight for us, embrace our ways, anyone is welcome to join! Latin ways are best ways!

            EDIT: By ancient.... Mmhhhh, feel free to use anything before the period of the 7th Century AD (To allow leeway for all regions of the world).

              I was less than completely about my Celtic ancestry. My great grandmother was Celtic, but she married an Englishman who killed her while in a drunken state. So while I do not blame all English, I choose to identify with my paternal grandfather, her son who took her maiden name. My grandmother was of partly Jewish blood, diluted by Celtic. The other side of the family was English. I still choose to identify as Celtic.

                My father's family is Old countryside Irish, no coat of arms, probably heavy Celtic. Mother's side, lowland German, Scotch, and French Huguenot aristocracy.

                  More'n half German, 1/4 Scotch-Irish, with some English mixed in.

                  Alternatively, all 4 grandparents when I knew them were Presbyterian, though one great-grandparent was Methodist, one was Baptist, and four (IIRC) were Lutheran. My parents were more or less independent fundamental Baptists (though my earliest memories are of a United Methodist church), and now I'm Orthodox.

                      Scotch-Irish/English on my dad's side, and Finnish on my mom's. So strictly speaking that makes me a Briton and a... Finn. It's rather unknown how much Celt admixture there is in my ancestry, but I have an (anglicized) Irish surname, and my great great grandfather was a ginger.
