Name an ancestor you have that has contributed to Western Civilization (or any cizilization, really) and explain why?
My ancestry shows I am descended fron . Alfred the Great, the first great Christian king of England (then divided) who repelled the Vikings and actually made an English country possible. England today would literally not exist without him.
You?

I don't care about my ancestors just like I don't care about my family.
Every Anglo is decended from Alfred bud
oldfag here.
my great grandfather fought the moslems in the philippines.

Not really, I did the math. There are like 200,000 or something that are. That's a lot, but not "every".
The closest historical relative I have is actually the guy that shot Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, he's less romantic to mention, even though Hamilton was a dick who asked for it.
Brev, Alfred is such a fuckin' low T shit, I hate him.
>Brev, Alfred is such a fuckin' low T shit, I hate him.
He is based. He is ten times smarter than anyone else in the room. He doesn't need to be high-T, he plays everyone like a fiddle and gets the Chads to go fight for him.
A few years ago I traced my father's side of the family only to find out I had someone in the Bulgarian branch of the communist party. JUST
Lmao, he literally raised two degenerates. A loose daughter bred for DANE COCK and a slut-kissin' son. Proof in the pudding.
Fred Hollows, Fred Hollows Foundation.
Cyrus the Great invented democracy
Please don't talk about Edward the Elder like that.
I don't know who my ancestors are because I'm not dumb enough to take one of (((their))) DNA tests
>dads side
Charlemange.
>moms side
Daniel Boone.
I'm related to nobody famous. I stand alone.
Good job contributing to the downfall, jackass.
How the hell does your ancestry show you're descended from a man who lived 1200 years ago? Americans are always making up shit like this.
I am a direct descendant of John Wilkes Booth.
I am related to Bodo Otto on my mother's side. My father's side was Mennonite, so we've been farmers since before PA was a state. Our farm deed has William Penn's name on it
Because if you can trace your ancestry back to certain people, you can trace your lineage back a hell of a lot further.
t. related to Rob Roy
thank you for your service
I'm related to Hitler and Il Duce
inb4 ASIO black vans me after this post

Judge Roy Bean
My Great-Great-Grand Pappy
His Wikipedia reads like a Jow Forums thread.

Some Highlights
>Dueled
>Survived hanging
>Became judge
>One of his first acts as a justice of the peace was to "shoot [...] up the saloon shack of a Jewish competitor"
>Bean ruled that "homicide was the killing of a human being; however, he could find no law against killing a Chinaman" dismissing the case.
Nice. My dad's family has been living in New England since before America was a thing. Someone way back got a land grant from the queen in what is now Connecticut.
Also church records are great - they kept track of all the marriages, births and deaths in the area.
I don't really care, but this show is based af and actually really well done and interesting
Hello puritan. That's pretty cool user, I've always liked New England, except for its politics of course.
>survived hanging? how?
Ah wait, puritans were Massachusetts
Held his breath
I call bullshit.
>n 1854 Bean courted a young woman who was subsequently kidnapped and forced to marry a Mexican officer. Bean challenged the groom to a duel and killed him. Six of the dead man's friends put Bean on a horse and tied a noose around his neck leaving him to hang when the horse moved. When he was hanged the rope stretched, and Bean was able to stay alive.[5] The bride, who had been hiding behind a tree, cut the rope, freeing him and saving his life. This experience left Bean with a permanent rope burn and a stiff neck for the rest of his life.
My Ancestor fought for William the Conqueror.
I am a direct descendant of Charlemagne. My ancestor is the only reason why Europe was white and catholic until now.
Vigo the Carpathian.
Yup, show is 'The Last Kingdom', is on netflix.
Very interesting historically.
Nothing really notable, but my Mormon pioneer ancestors were engineers who turned the Salt Lake Valley from a desert wasteland into something lush, green, and habitable.
One guy built the reservoirs that collect mountain snow melt.
>kills groom
>bride saves his life
Jesus, women have always been disloyal
My ancestor was don suero de quiñones, he was the main carachter of the "gesta del paso honroso" wich would become a book later, being one of the inspiration of don quijote debla mancha, also another branch of the family have the surname "cabeza vaca" who were the ones who helped win the battle of navas de tolosa swiching the sides of the reconquista in iberia
Flemming Cobbs, ran around with Daniel Boon in Appalachia, drove the natives out for white settlers and basically founded West Virginia. The state still tracks his family all the way to my father in their history books
Wait I read that horribly wrong, carry on
The American Moses
I'm a member of a Boston Brahmin family.

My great great grandfather came up with the idea to put "Under God" into the pledge of allegiance. He was an Irish Catholic living in South Dakota (I think)
...

My dad and my grandpa
My farher’s Side is directly related to Napoleon.

Attila the Hun
>Alfred the Great
>Charlemange
>Napoleon
>Attila
suuuuuuuuuuuure
Nigger lover.
all it takes is one person who has a rather large progeny in their line to have a huge number of descendants.
>My ancestry shows I am descended fron
You and literally 50,000 other people.
Peter McIntyre. He's not in history books or anything but I've looked into it and the family legend is consistent with what's written about it.
>Charlemange
Every white european is related to Charlemagne
this. OP is a fucking idiot. Everyone with ANY descendants for the british isles is related to Alfred the Great
Certified by some bogus genealogist no doubt. The English don't give a flying fuck and if you went into a pub there and said you were descended from Alfred the great they'd be sniggering and scoffing at you.
Someone claims to be related to Attila the Hun, who raped and pillaged.
>suuuuuuuuuuuuure
go away Alexandria
>England today would literally not exist without him.
also wouldn't exist without wholesale slaughter and rape by the french lmao
I might be related to Ponce de Leon
EVERYONE IN EUROPE IS RELATED
These people lived so long ago they have thousands, if not millions, of descendants.
Just like how Adam and Eve are all of our ancestors'. Their super famous too, but we are all descended from them.
Among my ancestors was Shabtai Tzvi, and several other local Sabbateans prophets.
which is why when I went I said nothing of the sort, because I am well aware of how many people there are that can lay such a claim.
Did you get this info on fancy thick paper with some made up crest of your people... did you watch an infomercial and get succer d into this scam of trace back your ancestors. God can’t make people this dumb.
I didn’t believe it until I saw the genealogy chart. It explains so much. Nearly everyone on my father’s side has a genius IQ or is gifted in some way. I have amazing talent in the performing arts. Am minorly famous myself.
Not Abram Petrovich Gannibal, or Alexander Pushkin?
My great uncle Adolph. I understand the guy could really whip up a crowd with his oratory skills.
That must be a miserable fucking shame. Id probably kill myself if my ancestors were such garbage tier retards cast away and cursed by God
>one of the greatest and most ancient baronial families of Normandy, which was also seated in England, but which is too well known to need details.
>Are also established in the neighbouring counties of Beds and Herts: but Bucks has long been the principal home of the name. Was the name of a powerful titled Bucks family that flourished during the 12th and 13th centuries.
>Just like how Adam and Eve are all of our ancestors
>Nearly everyone on my father’s side has a genius IQ
So solve this genius level problem for us and show your work.
but anyhow, being a certified member of the clan means nothing anyway even theough it was confirmed via DNA testing the genology drew the connection.

No thanks, I’m not your monkey. You have to prove your worth.
I can't even go back past the 1850s. Just German farmers, starving Irish and french peasants.
>Alfred the Great, the first great Christian king of England
More like Alfred the Okay, amirite?
The only remotely historically relevant person I'm directly related to is some faggot merchant from Poland.
One of my uncles helped designe the life support system for the iss
Kike
You are an idiot. Think of how exponential your ancestry is, if you go back about 10 generations you're practically related to everyone at that age in the nation.
William Wallace. REEEEEEEEEDOM
Shit. I got mixed up and thought you were the fella claiming to be descended from Alfred the great.
ISS is in a swimming pool fag

That is inordinately off. There have been about 372 reproductive generations since alfred died. It comes out as more than the population of britain at the time.
