https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans

The German American ethnic group (German: Deutschamerikaner) consists of Americans who have full or partial German heritage. Its size of 50 million stands second to the 55 million Hispanics in the United States

German Americans established the first kindergartens in the United States, introduced the Christmas tree tradition, and originated popular American foods such as hot dogs and hamburgers

The great majority of people with some German ancestry have become Americanized and hardly can be distinguished; fewer than 5% speak German. German-American societies abound as so celebrations that are held throughout the country to celebrate German heritage. One of the most well-known being the German-American Steuben Parade in New York City, held every third Saturday in September.

Got that Italian-Norwegian main heritage

with a bit of british, irish and native australian

My Norwegian ancestors moved over to America probably in the 1800's or something... I think originally near the lakes... Duluth I think was original family town before moving out to North California to the country town called Paradise. The Italian side, rode in boat over the Australia, ****ed around, got some aboriginal native blood in the heritage and that was that.

I got that Teddy Cruz US citizenship and Australian citizenship

I'm 3/4 italian and 1/4 irish. Irish side came here as convicts and italian side came over in the 30's. Can supposedly trace some of my italian side back to a norman family who came to italy after the crusades but really that genealogy stuff is bullshit when you go back that far.

I'd wage nearly everyone alive has had some form of slavery in their ancestory. Civilizations that didn't practice a form of slavery are the exception through out ancient history.

[senelcoolidge]

What I know..german, swedish, possibly english, native american, slaves/black. My parents are from the Caribbean basin and there is so much mixture in that region. British and Spanish territories. Indian(India) girls like me for some reason, maybe I look like an Indian guy sometimes. In the Caribbean there were indentured servants. Some of my background is a mystery.

[outbreak]

I am about the same. All I know is both grandparents from my dads side were born in Sicily. My grandma from my moms side is full blooded Irish, and my grandpa from my moms side was Swiss and Irish.

I never really traced my roots back too far. Idk if I have the right info to do that.
My italian side as far as I go was pretty centred in one area, my irish side I have no clue about before they came over here to Australia.

90% of my DNA be it maternal or paternal is pretty much exclusively from some type of Northern European region. So in the eyes of say, an ancient Roman, I'm what Germanic "Barbarians" looked like since they all came from every single one of those regions which my ancestry appears to come from.

That's impressive, that you know about your family lineage extending that far back.

I have a Mexican friend who doesn't even know his exact age or the state he was born in. His mother didn't get his birth certificate until years later after his horth and just guesstimated his age and place of birth. And here you have this extensive knowledge of your roots.

I don't take it for granted I think it's interesting to know where you come from. My girlfriend is like your friend, her grandpa is Mexican but changed his name to a French name and was always tight lipped where he came from and details about his actual family origins. As for myself I'm actually trying to find out as much as I can before my 86 year old aunt passes who has kept track of most of this stuff and has pictures and stories of all these long-gone relatives. I did the 23andme DNA test which gave some additional more ancient insight.

"Barbarians" could be from anywhere they simply meant non-Roman (so, they could be from Asia for example). However, germanic barbarians as I mentioned would all be the tribes from "Northern Europe" (Present day France, Germany, Brittain, etc) which appears to be where 90% of my ancestry comes from, regions like that. Germanic areas in ancient Rome covered pretty much that entire area that is lit up by my ancestry chart.

Yeah true but I meant that I had heard those tribes migrated there from other regions before showing up on the roman radar and we still weren't sure where those regions where.

I can personally trace my ancestry 600 years by name occupation and accomplishments. . My parents and my grandmother know much more.

AFAIK aryans from the caucasus region who settled in europe are the primary source of peoples who later became known as germanic tribes.

I don't know how mysterious or not the origin of many Germanic (Northwestern Europe) Barbarians are historically however I do know that the paternal line in my DNA according to 23andme.com goes back 17,000 years from within the Northwestern European region - so my ancestors were around that area during the Roman times and since about 15,000 years prior.

I'd imagine the gene flow wasn't that dramatic for about 15,000 years if that's the case. I think before the age of mass transit via ships/flight when people say things about ancient Roman era Barbarian tribes coming from "unknown" places and settling in say, the UK... their unknown origin was probably still Northwestern Europe. Like maybe Scandanavia or Germany. That's got to be why my DNA is 90.1% Northwestern European (Scandinavia/UK/Germany-France) I can't figure any other reason.

Eh, I'm 90.1% Northwestern European which they lump with the Scandinavians because it is so genetically similar... 2.4% is specifically Scandinavian, and 37.8% is undefined, meaning any bit of that could be more Scandinavian.

They were the dreaded forces on the fringes of civilization, the bloodthirsty warriors who defied the Roman legions and terrorized the people of Europe. They were the Barbarians, and their names still evoke images of cruelty and chaos. But what do we really know of these legendary warriors? From the frigid North Sea to the Russian steppes, this ambitious series tells the fascinating stories of the most fabled groups of fighters in history, tracing 1,000 years of conquest and adventure through inspired scholarship and some of the most extensive reenactments ever filmed. Franks Witness the birth of a barbarian empire as the Franks, led by Merovich - the legendary warrior said to be half - man, half - monster - descend upon Gaul, cutting a swath of devastation and conquering both the Roman and Visigoth armies. Lombards The ferocious tribe partial to severing their foes' heads and stealing their women. Their brutal leader, Alboin, overcame Roman defenses, surrounded The Eternal City, and forced a captured foe's wife to drink from her slain father's skull. Vandals Ranging far from their roots in Germany, these power - hungry pagans swept through Spain, then across North Africa, and eventually to the gates of Rome itself. Saxons Watch this Germanic horde ravage the British coast, destroy Roman defenses and plunder monasteries in an orgy of pagan worship, then turn to confront their barbarian brothers in a bloody battle for power and land.

I'm not boasting, because it's childish behavior, and they're plenty of dudes who could whoop the shit out of me...But I was known as the kid in highschool you didn't **** with because I'd go from nice as can be, to full out rage monster if you ****ed with my friends, or a girl I happened to like...
This onetime this 6'6 asswhipe who thought he was ghetto starting harassing a girl I liked afterclas s...Wouldn't stop, ended up throwing him against a wall at an angle so his head/shoulder hit first. Kid couldn't get up or use his arm...I closed in to start stomping his face/neck but noticed everyone in the hallway looked scared as ****/speechless, including the girl I liked...So I didn't do any more damage. Kid left an indent in the wall :lol

Have more similar stories that I'd be willing to share, some of which are funny TBH. Ranging from as a little kid, to last year when someone tried to mug me in Chicago. It's a strange sensation to get completely overtaken with rage/adrenaline, I've grown up since then...But I've had some of my best workouts when I'm pissed off :lol


In first grade I used to hangout with a girl who lived next door...Randomly when we were playing having a good time I decided to punch her in the face just because.... Broke her nose and nearly made her fall out of the tree house

Same grade at school I wasn't allowed to eat with other students... During recess this handicapped kid Brian would always pull me down from the monkey bars... Oneday I had enough, threw him to the ground and kicked him in the face....All they saw was me going ape shit on a special needs kid. :lol

Again same grade a "gf" at the time would tell me to push all the other kids off the play set, so we could be alone and makeout(part of the reason they decided not to let me eat with other kids). Once a teacher caught us kissing behind a door, told us to stop, and I said "you can't stop our love", proceeded to flick her off, and continue making out. She had to tear us apart

Kicked a dentist in the throat when I was 7 for trying to give me a shot screaming "give me a thermometer instead you asshole"

To give this one a little backstory obviously I had some issues as a kid, along with ADD. I'd go to school with no shoes, dirty clothes etc. They ended up putting me in recourse.. . My IQ is 114, so Im not a dumbass...Even then everyone knew I didn't belong in there.... Anyways, at that school the kids with behavior problems, who didn't give two Shits about school, or had ADD were in the same room as kids who most would use the non pc term retarded for. But we'd be taught separate. They'd even pick some of those kids up on the short bus if we happened to live close to the true handicap students(which was horrible because kid's being what they were just assumed we were like that too, they later taught us in a different room and made us take the normal bus). Before that though one day I decided to try walking onto the short bus with an empty shotgun, cocking it as I walked up to the door. Bus driver freaked the **** out, called the cops, and zoomed down our gravel alleyway

Another time in 1st grade I handed all the challenged, and 4 other normal kids cigarettes. The one black kid took my lighter and sparked up with me on the bus. Cool dude

Last one for now, one of the challenged students walked into the single bathroom while I was pissing...Instead of stopping I just turned and sprayed him and the wall
