This is the forum where world history, in general, can be discussed. Since the WH201, like the other fora in the World History department, is not limited to participation along lines of theology, all may post here.

Please keep the Campus Decorum in mind when posting here--while 'belief' restrictions are not in place, common decency is.

    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.

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

    More the Celt side? You sure you don't want want to give in more towards your Latin side? The French side? We have lavish cenas!

    What does it say about your Latin Italian folk that they were dependent upon the charity of others?

    If you all want to get fussy about heritage, I will tell you that I am Scots, Irish, English and Welsh.

    My sister is into ancestry. There has always been a story in my family that we are related to King Edward III through his son John of Gaunt, brother of Edward the Black Prince. Yes, that guy in A Knight's Tale.

    http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/...e-of-Lancaster

    My sister recently, like this year, found the connection. I haven't seen all the information, but she has it all documented.

    We are apparently descended from John's third marriage to Catherine Swynford, with whom he had a scandalous affair shortly after her husband died in 1372. And when John's second wife Constance died Catherine and John were married.

    They had 4 children, all born before the marriage, and were declared legitimate in 1397, and took the name of Beaufort from one of their father's castles in Anjou.
