<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7994599, member: 118780&quot;]For fun, I actually traced things back. Yes, there are several links here that are on shaky ground with genealogists, but it was still a fun exercise. My belief is there are millions out there with similar ancestry. I once read that ~14% of Norway can trace themselves back to one 10th century king. </p><p><br /></p><p>On a more serious side, I&#039;ve also traced my Luxembourg routes to the 16th century. Those roots are less shaky, since the records were pretty good. Interestingly, despite Luxembourg being larger at the time and borders being porous, they pretty much stayed within modern day Luxembourg.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, though, when we can&#039;t even trace <i>ourselves</i> back to one particular place, how are we expected to judge to which group of people and place a particular artifact belongs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
