I think it would be most interesting to find out where everybody's ancestors came from. On my dad's side, all of the family history is Welsh, English, and perhaps some Scottish. On my mom's side, my grandpa's family had all been Swedish, and on my grandma's side they had all been British I believe.

I have Sephardic/gypsy-Romani Heritage.i think I also got Filipino/ a little bit Latin American in me. I came from a long line of travelers/ Shepherds. For many generations my ancestors raised Sheep, bulls and goats. Many of my ancestors did a lot of hiding and fleeing wile in Europe Due to the increased discrimination and persecution towards the Roma,Coptic and Sephardic people. it was even rumored that during persecution times my ancestors fled and lived in the mountains for a wile. during the 40's or 30's they finally left Europe to evade the holocaust. They arrived in the east cost, went from California to Texas were they spent a lot of time in the southern states and in California, then from there to the Caribbean were they tried blending in south American/Caribbean. my grandpa was 14 years old when he lost his father. No one in the family knows who my great grandfather was or how he died. but when anyone in my family is asked about him they would get realy hostile and not want to talk about it. the only person who knew was my great grandmother but she never wanted to talk about him and took the secret to her grave. My grandfather also took what ever he knew about his father to his grave. Many members in my family hide there separdic/roma gypsy heritage
another interesting thing about my ancestor is that many of them that came before my grandpa all died at young ages in there mid to early 30's, and this goes generations back. my grandpa lived in his early 60's and my uncles and father are in there 40s and 50s so they are the only exceptions. I sure hope I will be an exception as well lol

My dad's side is Welsh/British and my Mothers side is Mostly Austrian and I have a big family tree sheet that's been recorded since the 1300s but I don't think I'm related to anyone famous
