Hello.
I wrote already early I investigate that my Gaulish/Germanic ancestors, from Treveri tribe. I found a more Vallus family Fulham, near Dorset with an English identity. If I know it well these settlements are not far from Hadrianus wall.I know it that Vangiones Gaulish/Germanic tribe give more hundred soldiers in expedition roman group. Many people did not return into Europe.I think that now, Vallus with a name living persons at Hadrianus wall, the " children " of these soldiers.
Interrested me, all information the Vangiones tribe, Chohors Equitata roman troop.

Ok, now my question is, is it possible that my ancestors could have been in ancient greece and/or rome if they immigrated from France(alsace) , Germany, and Ireland? If I can't trace it back with records, I could try that DNA thing.
Dan/Anastasios of Sparta/Gaius Statilius Rusticus/ Gaius Germanicus Augustus Flavius Romulus Caesar Tiberius Caelius (Imperator :twisted: <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":twisted:" title="Twisted Evil" />:twisted: )

Hello all,
I do not want to destroy illusions, but I think that exploring ancestry beyond 17th century is seldom realistic, even if your ancestors were of noble birth ... in Hitlers Third Reich Germans had to undergo tests that verified Aryan ancestry ... so I know through my grandmother, who their ancestors were down to late 17th century ... even though she is of lower nobility and in Germany some 80% of people still live in places, where their medieval ancestors lived, were was - and is - no further tracking possible (except DNA-analysis ;-) ) ) ... so today with many sources/archives - then available - lost and destroyed the chances have heavily decreased ...
... but don't get me wrong, I think it's perfectly fine and fun to research (and maybe sometimes successful), but in case that you have to pay money for it ... better leave it, as this is often no serious business

Geneaology is fun. I'd love to trace all my ancestry, but all I have to go on for most of them is their surnames and tales from my family. Some of my recent ancestors are well nigh impossible to trace as they either originated outside of the UK, were adopted or they grew up in an orphanage.
You can't even go by surnames either as they often change spellings, or can have various origins. For example, my original family name is found recorded in antiquity in France, Italy, Iran, Iraq, North Africa- depending on the spelling but it also apparently evolved in Devon and the Scottish borders lol: It would be nice to prove that any of this was true, (and claim my family's 'lost' riches :wink: ) but it seems that everyone I know who have paid a geneologist is either descended from Edward III, Gordon of Khartoum or related to president Kennedy. It seems that the poor classes obviously didn't breed and became extinct seeing as everyone is blue-blooded according to many of these people. I'm pretty sure, most people I know, including myself, have no one more illustrious than some ordinary peasant that just tilled the land and earned an honest day's crust.. and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not saying that they all deliberately try to con people but if you are seriously trying to trace your ancestry be careful with your cash. :wink:

... just looked up this German wikipedia article http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnentafel ... (unfortunately the English one doesn't mention this or I didn't find it)
it says, that - statisticly spoken - the longer you go back in time, the more probable your relation with any high-ranking personality in history becomes (e.g. with Karl the Great 747-814) ...according to statistics it becomes even more unrealistic to have no such ties, when living in the right geographic, ethnic and cultural context ... of course the number of "unimportant" people someone is related with (to?), is considerably higher ;-) )
the point is ... that's "just" probabilities an no one can tell for sure
