Royalty? You have me beaten then, I'm just nobility by heritage. (Although that position was lost due to some "marriage with the wrong class" issue)

And Dutch priests. It ran in a family so long that even my grandfather's grandather was still a priest.
And there you have me beaten. If I have any nobility in me whatsoever, it's nothing I know of.

Keep calm and move along.

Still, gently-carressing royalty! I come from a bunch of Belgian blacksmiths :ermm:

And here I thought my link to Attila the Hun would be the more surprising! :D

Nobility eh? Who knows, maybe you had an ancestor who served one of my mine :D

Most notable historic figure in my family is from the Finnish Civil War era. He headed some comitee in my current home county and counties around it which sent a large number of reds and people who were considered "dangerous to the state" to prison camps and executions after the war.

Not the most noble history, that's for sure.

I had a Great-Grandfather who was conscripted into the Wehrmacht during WWII. He was captured by the Soviets and almost shot by firing squad three times. He then went on to help construct and design some of Russia's more modern great buildings.

He also didn't have such a noble history...

I have Dutch and Swedish ancestry when looking it from a very long scope, but ancestors have been Finnish for a couple of hundred years already. To compare to the Americans here. :P

I have family that goes all the way back to 15th Century spain. :P I am also related to two presidents.

We talking ancestry? Most of my family is British, some came to the US in 1850, the others came to New Zealand some very early (like first boat over), the others after ww1.

The final part of my heritage is from.......................... bloody Canada (Quebec, went to Louisiana when the brits took over)   
...scum.

Those dogs are adorable. How old are they?
They are 2.5 years old right now. The black & white one is my boy. His name is Bandit. The pure white one is his sister Snow, but we call he Snowflake, on account of the times when she just randomly starts freaking out.

They're huskies, right? I would love to own a husky, but they're damn close to impossible to find in whole Scandinavia. Dobermanns are easier, but I still had a hell finding the two I have now.

Keep calm and move along.

Yep. They are both purebred Siberian Huskies. We got them for free. The prevous owners couldn't take care of them anymore, and they wanted them to go to a home together. Also, they are great dogs, but they take a lot of work.

HUSHGALALIAGALAHAJGJGWHFJGA!! For free? How do you get purebred Siberian huskies for free? Maybe it's just because of their rarity, but one of those would cost over 15000kr (about $2300) here. That is another reason I don't have one.

Like I said, the people couldn't take care of them anymore, and they wanted they to not be separated. They were 11 months old at the time, and had always been together. We were the first nice family that wanted both of them. I wanted him, because he was shy but started to warm up to me in the hour or so that i spent giving him attention, and she was a ball of fluff and attitude.

I won't take it, because this was a few weeks after she died:

My first real dog, Moglie. She was a Husky-German Shepard mix. I say she was my first real dog, because my dad had a pet greyhound when I was born.
