What is your race??? My race is Asian. Any race could be African, American, Caucasian, or any other race.

They pissed of the romans so much.


Well, the Romans did become Christian thanks to Constantine. Despite extending its lifespan, Rome just failed in the end.


Well what?


There would be less problems in the future, but subduing the Germans was a tall order. If the barbarians of northern Europe were conquered though, that would further prevent the existence of us in this state and do away with a lot of Western history.

thanks to Constantine


It's amazing that the political maneuverings of one man, can have an effect on billions; hundreds of years into the future.

Yes, a world without Christianity. I just hope if Rome fell without Christianity, something would arise to fill its gap. It served as a sort of unifying religion, which really helped.

I have to finish jacking this for a while. I have to step out for 30 mins. to and hour.

Heh, well I'm back. Lol.

Anyway..

These are approximate and according to as much of my descent I know of. I haven't peered into my genealogy enough.

37.5% Filipino
37.5% Samoan
12.5% Spanish
12.5% German

Whatever Chinese I have subtracts from the Filipino.

Yeah, I'm still contributing.

"I was born an American,I will live an American;
I shall die an American!" -Daniel Webster

My great-great grandfather, Nicholas Troost, came off the boat from the Netherlands in some 19th century year as a child. His son served in the civil war, another one of his sons became Lambertus, who fought in WW1. His son fought in WW2. His son almost went to 'Nam. His son is aspiring to become a Navy SEAL. *wink wink*

What about Korea D:?


It was in between generations



I'm a first generation immigrant, so I can't provide much of a genealogy tree until I pay to have one made.

I am one too, but my dad's relatives have documented their genealogy (which is also part of mine).

Eh, I might have to do some digging.

I'm planning on doing some digging soon too, I am wondering how they find out your genealogy though.

feh, records. So that means that can't trace your ancestors any farther back then their emigration, no?

European i know that for sure... i looked up my ancestry and found some interesting ppl. i was mainly interested though with relatives in the wars in the Boer war and the Great wars. but even more interesting was that my Grandmother's family are descendants of the royal bloodline of England... but they are not directly.

Depends on what you mean by emigration. I would like to assume writing and written records such as those of births would have been prevalent enough for them to go back at least a few hundred years...

I should put my name in the hat and see what comes out.
