Well, I am German and all my ancestors are too, as far I know. But what does it say? I mean... Some of them come from the hannover area. Some of them come from Pommern which is now Poland. Some of them come from Saxony. The conclusion is I probably have saxon, danish, swedish, french (hugenotue), polish, baltic, czech, russian and maybe even mongolic ancestors, (but NO bavarian. That is important for a good northern german! *G*) But I first of all I am proud burgher of the city of hamburg, which has allways opened its gates to all who wanted to build its wealth by making their living there! (one reason is as good as the other to sniff at your neigbor, hur hur!
- Okay, stop joking. the essence about my ethnic origins is that I am definitely european. But if someone calls me "human" someday I know I did something right.
