I'm jewish, so of course not.

Well i have ancestors who fought in the the CSA and and my how ever many great's ago grandfather was a traveling preacher not really royalty but i think they are pretty cool

One of my ancestors was governor of Connecticut but it was so long ago and far removed that it's meaningless. Also related to two civil war generals, but who isn't.

The only one I know about is a story about my great great great grandfather's horse falling on him and breaking his back so he ended up throwing himself down the well to kill himself just to make the pain stop. Not really notable but it was kind of interesting to hear about.

Somebody my grandfather went to school with was an actor, appeared in some 60s / 70s Dr Who episodes in fairly prominent one off roles, an episode of The Sweeney, a film adaptation of Under Milk Wood, some other films and tv shows.

I have an ancestor who failed to do a thing the next guy succeeded at and got in history books for.
Being a loser is in my blood.

I found my Grandpa hanging by a rope when I was 8.

I'm a descendant of Pancho Villa.

vague story so maybe he had his reasons

I am descended from Prussian nobility. I like to assert my superiority over others whenever the topic arises.

A great something grandmother fought in the Indian wars and got some /ss/ but that's about it for my family.

My father works on the family geography..
Recently discovered that an uncle from my grandpa fought with the SS in WW2, killed and burried in Austria

>Have an ancestor who was a Templar Knight
>Great grandad lead an assault to liberate an island in the Philippines during WW2 and has a monument dedicated to him there

That's about it.

>17th century spanish mason finds a treasure while demolishing an old structure
>Foreman told him to take a part of it and flee, because the gold belonged to the king by right
>He buys a ship
>Last name divides in two factions of the family, for legal reasons now distant relatives
>The ones who stayed in spain and europe said he abandoned his wife because he was a pirate
>Other part of the family said he was a noble merchant who died in a shipwreck

Both stories are pretty good on detail.

a higher SS officer

I am fairly closely related to someone who was just made saint, several people in my family have had high positions of power in my homelands government.

My great grand-to-some-degree uncle Eugene Baker led the American forces during the Marias Massacre.

My great grandfather was a World War One veteran. He worked at a button factory until he was drafted. He was injured by an enemy shell in the war. Came back, and worked at the bottom factory for most of the rest of his life.

My great great grandfather was one of the leaders in an uprising which occurred in the Balkans during Christmas 1918.

Sounds like a real buttoned up kind of guy

Yeah.
One of my ancestors was a Saint (literal one).
Other than that, lots of cool war veterans, people who went to nazi labour camps under or walked back home from Russia after WWII.
One of my great great grandfathers or something bought 6'3" a wife from Germany because they made fun of him all his life for being a manlet and he wanted his kids to be tall (and we're actually all pretty tall).
My family is pretty cool.

My great nan who died a couple years ago was the great granddaughter of a member or parliament, and this MP's brother was the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian army.

my bloodline can be traced back to julius caesar when he visited the rhineland, also i'm pretty sure i am related to mozart

>the bottom factory
great name for a gay bar

>dying in a well
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My family can be traced back to Ghengis Khan.

>families of both my grandparents on my father's side were extremely rich prior to WW2, lost everything in the war. on the grandpa's side, they owned one of the largest shopping centers in France, factories on grandma's side
>mother is descended from chinese bourgeoisie that fled China for Vietnam (Indochina at the time) during the cultural revolution, then had to flee Vietnam and ended up in France
>great-uncle on my father's side was a tank commander and a war hero, fought in Africa with Leclerc, supposedly had one of the highest numbers of direct hits on enemy vehicles in all the african forces
>his brother, my grandfather, lied on his age to manage to get a job in commercial navy, toured the world and has dozens of stories to tell, mostly about contraband, sailor pranks, talking parrots and a thousand ways to kill rats. he also managed to avoid a lot of the heavy lifting by being a top-tier bartender and mixing drinks for all the officers
>father once drunkenly stoned the windows of the local Front National HQ at night, not knowing that the party leader was supposed to visit the next day. visit was cancelled due to "terror tactics by communist extremists"
>dad also had the whole police department on high alert for a child sex-trafficking ring after a series of pranks and revenge-pranks that ended in them paying a dozen coeds on roller skates to plaster ads all over town for the sale of an imaginary young girl, and their victim's contact info on the placards

My ancestors were supposed to be kangz and shit.

desu it's easier to trace who is not related to that slant-eyed sex addict

Yeah actually I'm distantly in line for the Swedish throne. Something like over a thousand people ahead of me though.

better start weeding them out now, then

Why would I want to be king of some sandnigger country

Apparently my distant relative (surname wise) was involved with assassination of Tsar.

Soldiers and cannibal/slaver warlords desu
Not a nigger but you get a cookie if you guess which part of my bloodline were the warlords

>i have ancestors who fought in the the CSA
Ayyy, 3 of my great great uncles died in the CSA

Grand dad worked with the mob, nothing dangerous or important. He went around taking the coins outta cig machines n casino slots. Dad was also a tattoo apprentice

My great x 10 grandfather was one of the founders of my town, almost 400 years ago. Another ancestor fought in the revolutionary war and was bayonetted in the torso by a brit but survived. My great-great-grandmother could sew wedding dresses. One of her aunts killed her (the aunt's) dad with an axe.
Also everyone thinks I'm related to Emily Dickinson but I've searched through all the ancestry records I can find and haven't found any connection.

That sucks, what was it?

My great uncle fought in nam, he was supposedly an expert scout. He was injured or sick or something so he was out temporarily, some other guy took over as scout, and just about his entire squad was wiped out. One of the survivors wrote a book about it, so I've heard.

My great great grandfather was one of the most famous authors in my country's history.

>Modern dating for Hawks.

Got no one particularly notable, but my great-grandfather got sent to a labour camp during ww2. One of the officers there asked the prisoners if anyone could drive a motorcycle because apparently, they needed someone to be a courier or something, and he volunteered despite being from the country and having never even seen one. One of the other prisoners explained it to him briefly, and on the first chance he got, he escaped. He trudged around on foot through half my country, through the forests, only to get caught again when he was half a day away from his village. Bad luck runs in my family.
If not a nigger, then jungle asian.
