I'm €uroMutt through and through, but I'd like to trace my ancestry back to something Byzantine - take me to those Greek and Turkish coastlines that I have yet to see with fabulously decorated churches/fortresses. Further back, I would come from Darius' Persia oppulant and poised for conquest.
Perhaps through another line would be Ghengis Khan, and his marauding hoards sweeping through Asia and Europe pillaging as they go. I could pick up a lot along the way, maybe even a link back to good ol' Siddhartha stirring in a bit of inner peace through all the termoil.
Whatever the truth, the fantasy is far more fun - save the DNA testing for the paternity suits.
